IF EVER I COULD

Dedicated to my son. I miss you Rod.

If ever I could see your face

Or feel your presence near,

I'd need not wander through this place

Without your smile to cheer.

 

If ever I could find the key

To turn the page of time,

I'd gather every memory

On which your echo dines.

 

If ever I could hear your voice

Or see your upturned smile,

'Twould be the dream I'd choose by choice

And feel the time worthwhile.

 

If ever I could happy be

Or ever cease to cry,

I'd loose my hold and set you free

Forever then to fly.

Beautiful.
"I'd gather every memory
On which your echo dines"
"'Twould be the dream I'd choose by choice"-- such brilliance
