If Ever. Poem by dave lessard

If ever you were in my arms,
I'd never let you go -
I was daunted by your charms,
I think I've told you so.
If ever you were in my heart,
my happiness would shout -
you've given me a brand new start,
of what life's all about.
If ever you stayed in my mind,
my thoughts would be just you -
so wonderful, a love to find,
my hopes and dreams come true.
If ever you should kiss my lips,
I'd hold you close forever -
then I'd kiss your fingertips,
and let you go, but never.
If ever you were in my arms,
I'd be your great defender -
protecting you from all life's harms,
with love both strong and tender.
