Long Overdue

I could write a letter.

Or sing a song.

I could read a book

fix what is wrong.

I could go for a swim.

Or watch the stars.

I could change all the strings

On my old guitars.

 

First I will tell you I love you

You know it’s true.

And the next time I can hold you,

is long overdue.

 

There’s always that mountain.

Or just beyond.

Become a teacher

create a bond.

I could go on a quest.

Or sail the seas.

Think the impossible

And do as I please.

 

I could learn to play games.

Or learn a craft.

See how far I could run

sail on a raft.

Maybe just volunteer

Or start a meme.

There are a million things

and more in between.

 

First, I will tell you I love you.

Although you know it’s true.

For the next time I can hold you,

is long overdue.

    You’re right we could do just so.many things but first we have to make someone (our love ones) loved…I love how you presented the ideas though…from writing to playing but boils down to one thing: loving.

      Perfect. thank you for the comments! I doubt if I will get to putting this to music. I would be thrilled if you have some time and thoughts about chords. Please put it on my ‘tab’ as I am always in your debt! LOL
