Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Love On a Pillow

If I could put love on a pillow
                             I’d lay it on your bed
for you to find there every night
                      and rest your weary head

To set your dreams in motion
                and make your world carefree
for you to know your value  
                             for you to finally see

If I could put love on a pillow 
                  there’d be no need for prose
for all your pain, you’d understand
                   that thorns protect the rose

You’d wake to smiles and sunshine
                   with kindness on your plate
to know the road is long
                            but never it’s too late
