Just For You

If poetic words were flowers
I’d arrange a big bouquet
Wrapped  in pretty florist paper 
And would send it on its way.

If this bright day were a poem 
I'd condense it into rhyme,
With a ribbon made of sunshine
You could open any time.

If love were made of sweetest words
I'd enfold you carefully.
This world could never bring you harm
Saved with my poetry.

HELLO, JOYCE! This is pretty;-) It comes in different colors. I love it! Adding this poem to my favorites. I love my wool blanket, it keeps me warm, during the cold days. Here in Texas we only have one month of winter:-) I store my wool blanket in a safe place. Only to store the comfort, for other needy days. I like the way compare the "IF"image of love being like the most softest wool. A very delicate poem. I also wish my days were like poems. It would be nice to open a ribbon everyday. xoxo PD
