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.

Good observation. I like the images but the words do not get in the way and help demonstrate the feelings smoothly. Thank you!

Great! This is one of those things I recently “found” in my collection of lyrics/poems and I thought the same thing! I am really not sweet very often!

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.

Agreed, and maybe as important, letting people know they are loved…… just loving may not be enough. Thank you so much.
