If I Can't

I wanted to write you a poem today
I wanted to sit down and type
Type words, sentances, paragraphs, pages
Every syllabol filled with my love
A poem full of my heart

I tried, really I tried
But nothing came

I love you so much
I've given you my heart
I've given you my all and everything
So if that is what I feel for you
Why couldn't I write it down

Maybe I am scared
Ok, I am
I am scared to death

What if I fail as a wife
Or if I fail as a lover
What if I fail as a friend
Or if I fail as a mother
What happens then

I want to be the best
A loyal, caring, loving wife
A bold,passionate lover
A understanding, honest, devoted friend
A kind, gentle mother

I want to be perfect for you
I want to be perfect for our child
I am so scared

What happens if I can't
