If I Could, I Would

If I were an Artist, I'd paint pictures of you
Upon a canvas in a lovely colorful hue.

If I were a Singer, I would sing you a song,
A beautiful melody to last you lifelong.

If I were an Actress, a starlet on the stage,
I'd play my part with finesse just for you always.

If I were a Dancer, I'd dance all through the night,
Just to be in your loving arms, holding me tight.

If I were a Poet, I'd write you a sonnet
With love and romance upon every line of it.

If I were an Author, I'd write our love story
That would light up the world with a star-like bright glory.

If I were a Chef, I'd prepare a tasty meal,
A Valentine's special for my beau ideal.

Happy Valentine's Day!
