if i were

if i were a sunrise-
i would see the start of the day
the morning dew on the leaves and
flowers
all of life awaking.

if i were a sunrise-
i would see the glows of reds, oranges,
and yellows crossing the oceans waves.

if i were a sunrise-
i would awaken couples together and
watch them look lovinly into each
others eyes.

if i were a sunrise-
i would watch you watching me
and protect you through the morning time.

if i were a sunrise-
i wouldn't leave you in the clouds,
but in the warmth of my sunny face.

if i were a sunrise-
i would make your day go much better
with a smile and warm touch upon
your restless shoulders.

if i were a sunrise-
i would love you as you love me
till the dew dries and has gone.
