IF i Could

If I Could

I’m sorry that I’m not there
To wrap you in my loving arms
Until the gentle warmth of my body
Invades every dark crevice in your life,
Like sunlight chasing the darkness away.

I would rock you gently,
Like a mother cradling her newborn child,
And I would sing to you
The words the Lord would have me say
“You are my beloved.”
