If you were the sky <br />Then you would be blue, <br />No clouds passing by <br />A wonderful view, <br />As clear as the water <br />That flows in the stream, <br />The image of you, <br />No vision, <br />No dream. <br /> <br />If you were a tree <br />Then you would be green, <br />Standing in woodland <br />With beauty serene, <br />As warm as the summer <br />As cool as the shade, <br />The image of you, <br />Will never, <br />Now fade. <br /> <br />If you were the corn <br />Then you would be gold, <br />The treasure you give <br />And riches you hold, <br />So gently you'd wave in <br />The breeze through the field, <br />The image of you, <br />Such glory, <br />You yield. <br /> <br />If you were a star <br />Then you would be white, <br />Shining through darkness <br />The giver of light, <br />As still as the evening <br />Your radiance above, <br />The image of you, <br />No greater, <br />My love.<br /><br />ANDREW BLAKEMORE<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-were-the-sky/
