If only time would
cease.
I’d have time to
adore
Every freckle,
line, and crease
Every detail and
more.
If only time would
cease.
I’d have time to
say
How every line,
freckle, and crease
Has brightened my
day.
If only time would
cease.
I’d have time for
you
For everything
you’d want to do,
For staring into
your eyes so blue.
If only time would
cease.
Then I wouldn’t
feel the aches in my knees
From kneeling by
your side,
Arranging these
lilies.
If only time would
cease...
