If There Is Not a Dream
If there is not a dream I could share with you
A rose, a daffodil or tulip to grace
A place of confidence to lay your head
The floating house on Edmund Trace.
~
If only, I can afford a rug
To place upon this concrete floor
If only, this is all I can do
Be sure, your feet it will adore.
~
If only, I have nothing to offer
No luxuries nor strawberry cream
No steak upon the kitchen table
Or a crib for our baby to dream.
~
If there is anything more than love that matters
Then I must walk away
For I am the owner of many nothings
With a flower pot of clay.
~
If only, I could not offer you everything
I still have this one thing to give
Be sure, this will be your yours to keep
The heart that allows me to live.
