What I Know Poem by Charles M Moore

If I could make tomorrow
the day your dreams come true
I'd wrap them with my heartstrings
and give it all to you

If I could turn a rainbow
into somthing you could wear
I'd take this band of colour
and place it in your hair

If I could take a rosebud
that holds the morning glow
it's pearly drops and petals
I'd give you as a robe

But all of this is nothing
compared to what I know
and to understand my meaning
you will have to read below

For if I took the sunshine
and placed it by my side
its radiance wouldn't penetrate
the love for you I hide.
