If Only

By: Rain J. Casteel

If only I could adore thee
As I adore thy moon and exuberant stars...
If only I could worship thee
As I worship a new found love...
If only I could place thee onto
The highest pedestal to gaze
At thy profound graceness...
As I place a single jealous rose
On my highest shelf...
If only I could give thee
All that is me...
And expect no love in return...
