Would I Be a Flower
Would I be a desert flower
To beguile your wandering eye
Where you hesitate a moment
To peruse a flower such as I.
As you so lovingly marvel
At the fragrance of my bloom
And your gentle touch lays a shiver
To put a blush upon my plume.
Would I be a mighty oak tree
Stretching tall towards the sky
To fill your heart with wonder
As you're slowly passing by
And sit with me this summer day
to pass away the hours
While you slyly press against me so
To avoid a mid-day shower.
Would I be a double rainbow
To slake and take your breath away
With my colors drab and muted
Compared to the beauty you display.
But you see in me some worthiness
Causing your heart to skip a beat
As you leap and laugh through dappled grass
With a bounteous world beneath your feet.
Would I be the sun from high above
To warm you in your stead.
But I could never bear to leave you so
When twilight sends me to my bed.
I would then take hold of life's celestial keys
And send a baffled Nature to her room
So I could be the sun in the light of day
And at night I'd be the moon.
Could I be a rainbow, sun, tree or flower?
I will now answer brash and true.
I would be all these things and many more...
Just to love and honor you.
The End
