do whatever you want just don't hurt anyone


I sat here thinking about what I could do

to show that I love and appreciate you

I looked out the window and saw the tall trees

and their colorful, beautiful leaves

I thought about their job

and the air I could rob

That's what I could do

to show that I love and appreciate you

I sat here thinking about what I could do

to show that I really love you

I could take the sun from the day and the stars from the night

just to show you how you make my day bright;

but that's not a good comparison

There's not enouugh light

I could count very grain of sand

and create you your own piece of land;

but for that, I couldn't stand

I'd miss holding your hand

I sat here thinking about what I coud do

to show that I really love you

I decided to show you the real me

because that's all I can really be

I want to give you the sky and the sea,

but I hope you can settle for me


The author's comments:

I wrote this while trying to figure out what to give my boyfriend for our anniversary. I wanted to give him things that reminded me of how special he and his qualities are to me.  I quickly realized that I can't pull the sun or the stars to show him how bright he makes my day or that I couldn't rob the oxygen from the trees to give to just him. Needless to say, he settled for me... at the time; but that's another poem.xx Rose
