If I Could Give You the River

 

If I

could give you the

river

I would give you the

smooth stones

glistening

underwater

in the sun.

If I

could give you the

river

I would give you the

soft sound

of the trees

rustling

in

the

breeze.

If I

could give you the

river

I would give you a fish

sparkling

in the moonlight.

If I

could give you the

river

I would give you

my love.
