I'd like to capture a rainbow
and stick it in a big box
so that anytime I wanted to
I could reach in
to pull out my own piece of sunshine.
I'd like to build you a mountain
that you could call your very own.
A place to find serenity
in those times when you
feel the need to be closer to the sky.
I'd like to be the one
who's there with you when you're
lonely or troubled
or just need someone to
hold onto.
I'd like to do all of this
and more
to make your life happier.
But sometimes
it just isn't as easy to do
the things I would like to do
and give the things I would
like to give.
It isn't within reach.
So until I learn how to
catch rainbows
and build mountains,
let me do for you
that which I know best.
Let me simply be
your friend.
To shed sunshine
on your days
when they seem dark.
And hold you up
when you feel low.
