Love Stew

I wish I could make my love into a stew.
It would be warm and thick with lots of tender chunks.
I would feed it to you with a small wooden spoon.
If only my love could be stew.

I wish I could make my love into a park.
It would be wide and green with lots of twisty slides.
I would take you there every time it rained.
If only my love could be a park.

I wish I could make my love into a movie.
It would be charming and funny with lots of big stars.
We would watch it together and feed each other popcorn.
If only my love could be a movie.

I wish I could make my love into a pet.
It would be soft and cuddly with lots of youthful energy.
I would feed it and take care of it just for you.
If only my love could be a pet.

I wish I could make my love into a candle.
It would be colorful and fragrant with thousands of waxy wicks.
I would let it burn forever and ever.
If only my love could be a candle.

I wish I could make my love into a game.
It would be easy and fun with lots of rules to break.
I would let you win every time.
If only my love could be a game.

Most of all, I wish I could make my love into a poem.
It would be short and witty with lots of playful metaphors.
I would read it to you each and every night.
If only my love could be a poem.
