If I Could Draw

I would draw the oultine of the sun riveting in the lake
And the shadow of the Maple tree swaying in the wind.

I would draw the gasp before you laugh
And the glint in your eyes

I would draw the kindness
I see everywhere
And the comfort extended
For all our mistakes

I would draw the incredible
Gentleness of a grandfather's smile
And the warmth of a genuine touch.

I would draw the treasures I see every day

I would draw the funny story you just shared
And the unassuming passion for little things.

I would draw the simplicity of a hearty handshake
And the caring among friends

I would draw a tender song
And all the lyrics of hope

I would draw the gratefullness I feel
For all the beauty  we have been given.

I would draw my restless spirit at peace.
