A Flaming Sword

If I could wave
a magic wand
to make you happy,
that's what I would do
I'd wave it for you
night and day
no matter how much
it might weigh.

But there is no magic wand
for you.
you still would not be happy
because
you don't know how.

I would still like to write
like an angel,
dip my flaming sword in truth;
I am full of feeling,
wonder,
and my heart is dripping with love.
But alas, my life
has grown so late
and I do not have a magic wand,
or anymore,
a flaming sword.
