If I had the skill to lasso and to ride wild in the hills of Texas,<\/span><\/p>\n

I would use my special skills along with my cardiac plexus,<\/span><\/p>\n

Swinging my rope overhead I\u2019d lasso parts of Texas for you,<\/span><\/p>\n

A beautiful acre of Texas land under skies of heavenly blue,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If I could write a beautiful verse along with melodies in tune,<\/span><\/p>\n

A song written of you would be enough to make men swoon,<\/span><\/p>\n

Verses written of heavenly angels would include you for sure,<\/span><\/p>\n

If a man had difficulty falling in love you\u2019re a carrier of the cure,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If I were a photographer gifted God\u2019s touch of the magic eye,<\/span><\/p>\n

I would use such gifted talent to show the world of whom I sigh,<\/span><\/p>\n

Photographs of a beauty like you should be converted into art,<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019d hire a great artist of oil paintings to paint you nude or in part,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If I were a skilled sculptor with gifted hands I would sculpt you,<\/span><\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve seen you all of my life I\u2019d sculpt an angel for all to view,<\/span><\/p>\n

With majestic wings opened wide so everyone can see you fly,<\/span><\/p>\n

Long flowing hair adds to your beauty of the angel in the sky,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But if I was a gentleman yet perhaps I am too of whom I write,<\/span><\/p>\n

As a gentleman of searching eye I would ask for a date tonight,<\/span><\/p>\n

For you are truly beautiful more so than this man has ever seen,<\/span><\/p>\n

When my eyes focused on you I felt as if my love was obscene,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It appears I\u2019m a man of verse attempting a gentlemanly way,<\/span><\/p>\n

For truth to be known my heart was yours on the very first day,<\/span><\/p>\n

My heart cried out for you each time you passed from my view,<\/span><\/p>\n

Hear the truth of my heart\u2019s affections, \u201cI\u2019m in love with you\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
