If only I could write you a rainbow,
send it along its way
all tied with a bow,
so light and so gay.
If only I could make you smile,
the expression of hope,
with the love of sorts
that assist you to cope.
If only I could comfort your loss,
the fall of a friend,
the best and most dear
meeting a terrible end.
If only I could give you joy,
the kind and the same,
that you have shown me,
yet never again.
If only I could show you life,
of every kind,
the sorrow the glee,
perfect sense of mind.
If only I could explain the danger
dear wanderer, go back
and stumble no longer
from your own life's path.
send it along its way
all tied with a bow,
so light and so gay.
If only I could make you smile,
