💕 If I Could Have One Love ❤️ Poem by James McLain

If I Could Have One Love

If I could have one love, just one,
To shine as bright as summer sun,
I'd choose a love so pure and true,
A quiet light in skies of blue.

Not one of passion's fleeting fire,
But one that calms each wild desire.
A love that whispers through the years,
And wipes away my secret tears.

If I could have one love to stay,
I'd wish it soft, like break of day,
To fill my heart with gentle grace,
And linger on in each embrace.

Not one of words, but silence deep,
To hold me even when I sleep.
A love like stars in velvet night,
Forever near, yet out of sight.

If I could have one love, just one,
I'd wish for peace when day is done.
