Tulips from That Other World
Tim Myers
A poem in honor of children everywhere
Dedication
by Tim Myers
What would I give you, child, if I could?
Myrrh and amber and sandalwood;
dolphins painted on Cretan walls
in blues and greens and pale yellows;
a house built deep in a forest of green;
a horse in a stable; a bubble machine;
gold that Inca royals wore;
moonlight through an open door;
toys and books; a dog and a cat;
music that rises; rain in a hat;
the aquamarine of Hawaiian seas--
or maybe I should just give
me.
