If I Could Tell You

By

C.L Lawson

If I could talk, then you would know

that I have a heart

and love you so

Mommy, if I could I would tell you that you

are the sunshine in my day

and

the laughter inside me when we play

Mommy, I would also tell you too, not to throw it all

away.

Soon you will see your life's worth in me

on a special day

I could tell you I'm glad but I also would

let you know that I am sad

Mommy, If I could, I would

tell you that even though

I am small, I see you as my tree

standing tall

I would tell you I didn't ask

to be here

and

I am unhappy because you are there

and I am alone here

Mommy, If I could I would tell you I need you

to hold me tight

and

promise me that life will be alright

Mommy, my world is upside down

and I need you to turn it around

but

even I know, you will have to choose me over

your own life

Mommy, If I could tell you, I would tell you

not to give up on me

Someday you will want to see

all that I am and all I will be.
