I Would Speak

If I could see you with my words
I would speak of your light.
I would speak softly but boldly.
I would speak eloquently and beautifully.
I would speak of springtime.


If I could hold you with my words
I would speak gently but firmly.
I would speak of desire and wishes.
I would speak warmly.
I would speak of dreams.


If I could kiss you with my words
I would speak passionately.
I would speak joyfully.
I would speak of blessings and promises.
I would speak of life.


If I could love you with my words
I wouldn't speak in vagaries or vulgarities.
I would speak respectfully and confidently.
I would speak spiritually.
I would speak of heaven.
