One Existence

If I were an artist, I would paint you a sky I would tell you the truth and never lie If I were a dancer, I would dance a dance for your eyes Performing beneath the most beautiful blue of skies If I were a cook, I would bake you a treat Irresistibly warm, delicious and lightly sweet If I were a musician, I would play you a song To carry out the sound of peace is never wrong If I were I writer, I would write you this poem For you to stick inside your pocket and carry home For today I am just one person on this earth One life destined to be all for you since birth

This was written years ago. Made some minor changes to it, hope it works.
