If Not Me
To adore you when you wake,
As you check yourself in the mirror,
Swishing away the plaque.
To smile as you start the coffee,
As you fight with the lid on the peanut butter,
Determined to spread it on thick.
To look at you in that special way
And behold you in the everyday,
Who would it be if not me?
To dissuade you from the lonesome doubt,
From the burdens which you’ve wrongly assumed,
Taking on what you’d best do without.
To lift you from the earthbound masses,
From the dark abyss of the uninspired
Where precious time swiftly passes.
To never lose sight of your best interests
And remind you you stand above all the rest,
Who would it be if not me?
