Here's another.
IF I FOUND A WISTFUL UNICORN
Ann Ashford
If I found a wistful unicorn and
brought him to you, all forlorn
... would you pet him?
If I took an empty midnight train
across the country in the rain
... would you meet me?
If I picked a little flower up and
put it in a paper cup
... would you smell it?
If I found a secret place to go,
with you the one to know
... would you be there?
If my cricket coughed and got the flu
and needed warmth and comfort too
... would you hold him?
If my rainbow were to turn all grey
and wouldn't shine at all today
... would you paint it?
If my birch tree were afraid at night
and couldn't sleep without a light
... would you bring one?
If my soul were feeling all alone,
and wasn't near a telephone
... would you write to it?
If I ran backwards up a tree and
called for you to follow me
... would you do it?
If my nightingale were a monotone
and much too shy to sing alone
... would you hum with him?
If all that I would want to do
would be to sit and talk to you
... would you listen?
If any of these things you'll do,
I'll never have to say to you
... do you love me?
