If I Could Write A Love Song
I was out for a walk, enjoying life and having some me time, when the thoughts behind this poem came into my head.
If I Could Write A Love Song
If I could write a love song
what is my love of choice?
There are many different types of love
which one will I give voice?
I could be narcissistic
and sing only of my deeds.
My feelings of self-loving
and the ego that it feeds.
I could be melancholic
and sing of the love I’ve lost.
While feeding my addiction
and the price that it had cost.
I could sing about my family
Though it wasn’t always so.
I was told once in my dark days
you reap just what you sow.
I could sing of mother nature
and the love she gives us all.
As I wander by the river
and hear the seagulls call.
I know now just what song I’ll write
of the love I lost and found.
The one I have for everyone
and the life I’ve turned around.
