One of our residents has written a poem in celebration of love:
I Wish I Were
If I were a writer, I would make marvelous sentences
I would write beautiful words
I wish I were.
If I were a poet, I would join the words that count.
I would make the words that rhyme.
I wish I were.
If I were a potter, I would form the clay
I would make beautiful objects.
I wish I were.
If I were an artist, I would mix fantastic colors.
I would draw beautiful pictures
I wish I were.
If I were a musician, I would write the music
I would write the chords that make you cry
I wish I were.
If one day I could be all.
A writer. A poet. A potter. An artist. A musician.
I would join them all.
I would write and rhyme and form and draw and play
Three beautiful words
I love you.
