If I could put you in a locket, I would.
Carry you around my neck
Show you the world as I see it,
Protect you from all wear & tear, I would.
If only I could.
If I could bring you to work with me,
Keep you nearby
Like a pen in my pocket.
Whip you out, only for the most precious tasks, I would.
If only I could.
If I could etch you on my ring
Like engravings on a wedding band.
Never take it off, and keep you safe
From the eyes of others,
Like a secret, I would.
If only I could.
Or maybe like a Kangaroo,
I could Hide you in my pouch.
Look out over you
And save you from all danger.
You know that I would right?
If only I could.
But all that I can do
Is cherish you like a childhood memory.
Sometimes hazy, sometimes sharp,
But always there in my heart.
If only though I could have you forever,
I would. I so would.
