A poem lost to the pages of a note book.
I wanted to share this one with you.
If only I could be these four walls,
that look upon you while you sleep.
These walls that keep you safe at night
protected from the wind and rain.
If only I could be these four walls,
that you paint as often as your nails.
To be the canvas for you to pin,
memories, curiosities, pretties that make you smile.
If only I could be these four walls
that listen intently when you read out loud-
That gets to see your face
when in your mind you are dreaming of adventure.
If only I could be these four walls,
the first place you run when you feel alone,
to be your comfort through all pain,
to keep the world out when you need a break.
If only I could be these four walls.
I trust you are well friends,
As is always the case, my love to you...
