If I Were the Sun

If I were the sun, I’d embellish your face
With light golden beams glowing down from the sky
And spread out your petals to warmly embrace
The smooth velvet layers that so mystify

If I were a rain cloud, I’d drizzle the sweet
and succulent wetness within every crease
The water of life I would lay your feet
And you’d drink of my cup of contentment and peace

If I were a butterfly floating above
I’d touch your soft petals with wing tip that glows
Though sunbeams and raindrops and kisses of love
Could never transfigure this most perfect rose

Your cadence is a sunbeam streaming down and warming us with the flow of it!  Fantastic!
