WHAT I WOULDN'T DO

If I could give up,
all my worldly possessions
To believe you are there,
at the gates of heaven.
If I were a Queen,
I would give up my throne
Know you are with HIM,
know you're not alone.

If I held high office,
I would honor all I said
To spend a night with you,
in my arms instead.
Oh! If I were a pilot,
I would fly up to the skies
Just to see your wings,
your angelical smile.

If I could stop wars,
give peace to mankind
Just to have you hold me,
for one last time.
If I won the lottery,
I would give it all away
Just to buy back time,
to have another day.

Oh! If I were a genie,
I would grant wishes today
To touch your face,
that takes my breath away.
But I am a simple man,
with nothing to give
To suffer a lifetime,
of pain and emptiness.

Oh! what I wouldn't do,
what I wouldn't say
Just to hold you one last time,
if only for today.
I'll treasure memories,
my mind has tucked away
Healing spiritually,
as I place a rose upon your grave.
