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
