"IF"


For David

(Aka: My Best Friend and The Best Husband In The World)



If I could,

I would grab a handful of sugar
to sprinkle along your path to
make it forever sweet.


If I could,

I would reach beyond the stars
and grab a galaxy
so you could call
the Universe your home.


If I could,

I would cup my beating heart
in my hands
so you could see how much
I love you.



If I could,


I would.
