To Share With You

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...
