I watch you softly sleeping And I envy the moon as it plays across your placid form. I wish I were the moon, so I could touch you in the night. I see you roll across the lawn And I envy the grass as it is caressed by your laughing self I wish I were the grass, so you would lay on me and laugh. I watch you jump into the air And I envy the wind as it catches your spiraling body. I wish I were the wind, so you would hold out your arms to receive me. I see you warming your hands And I envy the warmth that brings a glow to your cheeks I wish I were the fire, bringing you comfort and warmth. I watch you dancing in the night And I envy the stars as they shine gently down upon your lovely face I wish I were starlight, so you would never walk in darkness. I see you swimming in the creek And I envy the water as it swirls gently around your kicking feet. I wish I were the water, so I could surround you and lift you up. I watch as you move through life I envy those people who you will touch and be touched by I wait for you to return to me for comfort and enduring love.

Lynne...Very, very well done. Excellent piece! Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. -William Wordsworth- |
