If I could pick a star for you, I’d lay it in your lap,
And it would be the brightest star I’d give you to unwrap.
If I could catch the moon tonight, lasso it with a rope,
I’d pull it down so carefully; a radiating hope.
If I could sail across the seas, I’d sail one every day,
To capture valiant promises, my heart would lead the way.
If I could shatter obstacles, above the crowd I’d rise,
And there you’d be, my destiny, it’s you I’d recognise.

This is so beautiful. It’s a poem about giving and the gifts are free.
Our hearts speak when love is in the air.

Once again a very nice poem Norma.

Norma, I’ve only recently found myself writing forms, sometimes couplets, but this, yours, is so charming. It is not only romantic and unabashedly sentimental… it’s love at the very foundation. Amy
