If I were a poet, I'd have composed u in my poetry; If I were a treasurer, I'd have kept u in my treasury;
If I were a writer, I'd have included u in my prose; If I were a gardener, I'd have groomed u like a rose;
If I were a painter, I'd have painted u in my paintings; If I were an orator, I'd have spoken u in my wordings;
If I were a singer, I'd have sung u in my song; If I were a sheet, I'd have sheltered u against every wrong;
But, u see, this is simply me What I can make, at best, a promise to thee; I'll always keep u in my heart and mind Until HE wants me and my business to wind.
