If

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I ever leave you
in this world all by yourself
I hope that you will read this poem
I kept high on a shelf

If I can never touch your face
or hear your lovely voice
I hope your path is always filled
with happiness and joy

I tried so hard to find the words
to show you how I feel
I tried to write this simple poem
that somehow would reveal

How much I always cared for you
in everything you did
I wish I told you more of all
the feelings that I hid

I’m sorry for the times I ever
caused you to be stressed
With all the love I felt from you
I know that I was blessed

I hope you know the problems
that we had were all my own
I’m sorry living with me
made you sometimes feel alone

I want for you to know that
when you need me I’ll be there
It doesn’t matter if you’re happy
or if you are your scared

Just know that I am holding you
whenever you have fear
And that I’ll always be there
every time you cry a tear

I wish I could have bottled up
your laughter in a vial
I’d pour it out into the wind
and make the whole world smile

I wish that I could find the color
trapped within your eyes
I’d toss it up into the air
and paint a whole new sky

I wish I would have captured your
illuminating glow
The effervescence of your smile
could lift those feeling low

I hope that you can find someone
who makes your spirit free
I hope that they take care of you
And love you just like me

Just know each time you stop to hold
And smell a pretty rose
That I may just be getting close
So I can kiss your nose

And when you see the clouds above
release their saddened tears
It’s just that I am missing you
and wishing you were near

I tried to find some special words
to show you how I feel
I tried to write this simple poem
that somehow would reveal

How truly I adore and worship
everything you do
If I could only find the words,
I’d give them all to you

You know, it has occurred to me that you must be a chick magnet with the way your write. What women wouldn't swone over words like:

"I'm sorry for the times I ever
caused you to be stressed
With all the love I felt from you
I know that I was blessed"

and

"Just know each time you stop to hold
And smell a pretty rose
That I may just be getting close
So I can kiss your nose"

The words every woman wants to hear, but never seems to.

Love this as always. Into my library you go little poem.

Sweet poem! I see you've adapted a different style of poetry? Haha, it's great nonetheless. I think my favorite stanzas would be the 3 that started with "I wish." Such amazing imagery you've got there. Lovely poem overall.

A rhythmic, tender lullaby of love and life... how time can separate the dearest hearts, yet love lingers still. Beautiful confessions from the richest season of your soul, good sir!

NOW this is beautiful...all to often we never tell or share the WORDS...Each and every stanza speaks those words that the other sometimes...most often needs to hear...The ending was superb...Loved this beautiful poem...

[Victoria PoetryBunny]

Awe so very sweet, I like this a lot, your words flowed so nicely and bits of rhyming throughout. Love this part:
"I wish I could have bottled up
your laughter in a vial
I’d pour it out into the wind
and make the whole world smile

I wish that I could find the color
trapped within your eyes
I’d toss it up into the air
and paint a whole new sky"
