IF I WERE A ........
(I wrote this many years ago
for my second book "Written From The Heart")
If I were a month,
I'd choose the month of May.
For it was in that month
I was born and in my mother's arm did lay.
If I were a day
I'd choose mid-week Wednesday,
For that was the day I entered this world
And have continued my journey.
If I were a time of day
I would choose early morning.
To see the early sunrise
Also hear the birds a singing
.
.
If I were a planet
I would be Venus.
That's the planet of love,
An emotion so good between us.
If I were a direstion
I would choose the East.
That's where the sun rises
Which gives our eyes a feast.
If I were a tree,
I would be a Christmas tree.
Thinking of all the happiness
Within the family.
If I were an animal,
I'd love to be a cat.
To laze in front of the fire
On a lovely fluffy mat.
.
.
If I were an instrument,
A piano I'd like to be.
So someone very special
Could run their fingers over me.
If I were a fruit,
A grape is the answer of mine.
For the outcome of a grape
Is the flowing of wine.
If I were a food,
That's an easy one.
For sheer indulgence,
I'd be a fresh cream bun.
If I were a book
That has to be "Eliminate Stress"
To put me on the right track
So life won't be in a mess.
If I were a song
"Hello Darlin" that's what it would be.
Because my dear friend Danny Boy
once sang that especially to me
If I were a flower,
I would be an EnglishRose.
For that was my pen name
When I first started writing prose.
If I were a facial expression,
That would have to be a smile.
Recalling wonderful memories
As I sit here for a while

Wonderful Danny say that song for you.
ReplyDeleteI would be a guitar and hope that my wife plays me. Wait, that sounds bad...
Thanks for your message Alex which came over all too loud and clear.......

If I were a planet, I'd be Venus, too, because it's easy to see in the night sky.

A lot that is wished for in life. A lot is achieved! Appreciating it initially as is done here will make it even more fulfilling when these happen later. Great lines Yvonne!
