If I were a vine
with my tiny tendrils
I would climb
and wrap myself around you
for much needed support
If I were a violet
with leaves of deep green
and dark purple flower
I would flourish and grow
happy in the shade of you
even in the darkest hours
If I were the mighty oak
how sturdy and strong
I would be
Though, I would still need the support
of your solid ground, my love
to grow my roots and steady me
If I were the loveliest rose
a true crimson red with
thorns so thick
You can hold me
oh so tight my love
Your gentle flesh
I shall not prick
If I were an entire meadow
of foxtail and fescue
I would never tire my love
of waving in the wind
day after day
at sweet
kind
wonderful you

Laura, this was [is] stunning! My God! to be in love like that. To be

Amazing, sweet Laura. I am so touched by the sentiment here,
I am near tears. And how wonderfully you've written it as well.
So very well done, my friend. So very well done!
