If all I do
Is hold your hand,
Would you walk with me
Along the strand?

If all I do
Is touch your cheek,
Whisper, “I Love You”
Will that make you complete?

If all I do
Is touch your soul,
Will a band round your finger,
A circle of gold?

If all I do
Is ask, “marry me,”
Is that enough
To set your heart free?

If all I do,
Is simply all this,
Could you start each day
With only my kiss?

Thank you Ethel.  This is not so much a young couple's love, but an elderly couple's love, when sometimes, just the knowledge of being close to each other is all they have.  Is it enough?  For some...yes.

Lady, it's been so long since I've spotted you here, it's probably just me, though.

A fine piece, love the ending, especially!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Ahhhh, this is lovely..

Lady it is so nice to have your words
grace these pages once again.

mmmm *warm fuzzies*!!

Very nice, very very!

A dream is but a dream, you can wake up.  Reality is ultimate, and those who share it with us are far more important than anything we could remember,

Very enjoyable poem.. Thanks for sharing.

I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait.

What a unique, and uniquely honest look at the reality of it....Love this poem, and if the answer isn't "Yes," there's at least one fool on this planet.

Lady In White - a kiss to wake the morning would be a good place to start. If, a little word, but how big it is...
