My eyes i would give you and be blind so you could see,
So that you could hear the sounds of the world, deaf i would be.
I would give up my voice that you may sing out your song,
Hold onto your hand when the pain of life becomes too strong.
If i could make it alright, any sickness for you would be my fight,
If i could make it alright, my sleep i would lose so you may rest through the night.
My heart is mine just as your heart belongs to you,
If i could make it alright then know that my heart i would give to you.
The ultimate gift would be to give so that another could live,
If your heart did cease to beat then my life i would give to you.

that’s the most beautiful poem i’ve ever read.
Reminds of song “If I Ruled the World”
A beautiful evocative poem, with words which sang soul deep. Thank you. Susan.

Wow Keith..just wow! This is very sweet and very melting. 🙂 I shed some tears reading this… I have a poem that has this line “Your words are like music to my ear but now I turned deaf and throw it in the air.” 🙂 a very nice and poignant piece from you Keith. 🙂
