These are simple things I'd do, if you were mine to stay <br />I'd do these things, to show I care, the morn of each new day <br />I'd make you coffee, muffins too, and set them by your side <br />When you awake I'd kiss you 'hi', in you I would confide <br /> <br />I'd walk the miles in rain and sleet, to buy your favorite book <br />I'd walk back home, a happy man, along the gushing brook <br />The smell of fresh ground coffee, I enter and feel warm <br />I hand the covered book to you, still dry despite the storm <br /> <br />Your thankfulness is present, I see it in your eyes <br />You hold the book against your bosom, look up into the skies <br />Our eyes would meet, I simply nod, I know I've touched your heart <br />Your curl up now, begin to read, I leave the room and part <br /> <br />I'd make the lunch, you read the book, I'd do the dishes to <br />Just to show you that I care, and want to be with you <br />I'd take the washing from the line, I'd even start to iron <br />You read your book, I wouldn't mind, my love for you would shine<br /><br />Bradley Lester<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-few-simple-gestures/
