The Lake and the Lotus

If I were a lake and you were a lotus Would you think yourself too small to be noticed? Or would you open your petals to me Blossoming boldly and brilliantly To rival the stars that heaven bestowed us Outshining them all if you were a lotus? If I were a lotus and you were a lake Would you dance with me in the white swan’s wake? Would you keep me afloat through storm and flood Would you love me if I were still just a bud Help me to grow and bloom and partake In the tenderest touch if you were a lake?
