IF I GAVE YOU ...

by

Rose McMahan

If I gave you the world
as a present
Tied up with ribbons of gold,
Offering its beauty and glory
minus the ugly and cold. If I gave you the stars
from the heavens
Woven into a bright crown,
Making you laugh in the process
by being your puppet and clown. If I gave you the wealth
of this country
Multiplying it over by ten,
Do you feel there's a chance
in a million
You'd think about loving me then?
