If...

Rowine Conley

If I were a pillow
I'd fluff up on the bed
I'd make myself as smooth as silk
To support your handsome head

If I were a textbook
I'd open in your hand
I'd make myself a language
Only you could understand

If I were a houseplant
I'd flower just for you
I'd make myself grow bigger
So you would love me true

If I were your lover
I'd keep you satisfied
I'd make myself the kind of girl
You wanted by your side

Rowine Conley

Writing is not something I do--it's something I am. I have been a wordsmith since before I could write. I have now written 2 novels, 6 children's books, several short stories, and boxes full of poetry. I am now disabled but I still have a day job. I have 7 sisters, a dog and 2 cats (one has only 3 legs), A daughter, numerous "God-daughters", A son, and a few "God-sons". I am Extremely Biblical though I don't really follow organized religion. God is my life and I have truly been blessed-For God By God...Peace Out__Gypsy Row more…
