If I Were Your Muse (Unedited)

If I were your muse would I amuse you?

Or would I inspire your best to shine through?

I wish it were true, I’d feel like a king,

If I could inspire just one little thing…

If I were your muse … how would it be?

When you need a spark you’d come visit me?

Would we talk for a bit, or even at all?

Would you stop by the house or give me a call?

If I were your muse I’d want to know why.

What do you see when you look in my eyes?

I try to imagine what people may see

I’m only a man and that man is just me.

If I were your muse what would I incite?

Maybe you’d paint some or maybe you’d write…

You might do some cooking or help out a friend

Or hug someone tighter than they can defend.

If I were your muse I never would know

I’d just be myself wherever I go.

Showing my teeth (my grin’s hard to hide)

And loving my life with God at my side…
