If You Were

If You Were

If you were a scent,

You would be the sweet, sweet aroma,

I think of when I think of Heaven.

If you were the light,

You would shine through darkened skies,

Chase away the rain and the thunder.

If you were the moon,

Casting light upon the water,

I would count stars every night.

If you were music,

You would play to the beat of my soul,

Never to be heard by a human ear.

I’m standing on the edge of a dream,

Where I can hear you whisper to me,

You seem so happy and so strong,

You walked hand in hand with me all along.

If you were a scent,

You would float upon a breeze,

But you’re laughing with the angels in Heaven.
