degrees of time

If I could freeze time to be with you

And never grow old.

If I had magic powers at the tips

Of my fingers, then still

I wouldn’t do.

If I would, you’d be wrapped in blankets

To fight the cold.

Before freezing time, I’d brew so much tea

For when it gets chill.

I’d brew all of my tea for you.

If I could turn back time to relive our past

And feel how it was.

If I had the gift of seeing lives that were lived,

Reverse the tides of time, then still

I wouldn’t do.

If I would, you’d be given a bucket

In case your stomach is throwing a ruckus.

Before turning back time, I’d cook so much food

For when we four get hungry.

That’s you and me and me and you.
