If it were up to me I wouldn’t say goodbye <br />I would hold you close all throughout our lives. <br /> <br />If it were up to me I wouldn’t let you hurt <br />I would kiss your lips, even your fingertips. <br /> <br />If it were up to me I wouldn’t close my eyes <br />I would gaze at you until we laughed, then cried. <br /> <br />If it were up to me I would never say no <br />I would dance with you baby –nice and slow. <br /> <br />If it were up to me I wouldn’t change you at all <br />I would hold you up never let you fall. <br /> <br />If it were up to me I would never let you die <br />I would caress your heart with our lullaby. <br /> <br />If it were up to me I wouldn’t always cry... <br />I would never miss you until my dying –sigh.<br /><br />Shelley L Baxter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-it-were-up-to-me/
