Why stop at a word,
why not sentences,
why not stanzas,
why not a poem?

Why stop at a word,
when I can write you a poem;
why stop at a petal,
when I can pick you a rose.

When I pick you a rose,
I give you many petals,
When I write you a poem,
I give you many words.

Why stop with a portrait,
why not a thousand words,
why not a million colors,
why not a loving smile?

Why stop with a portrait
when I can write you a poem;
why stop with a smile
when I can make you mine.

So the full title would be "Why stop when I can make it mine," and this is for a very special friend that was going away for the weekend, but she came back early, so I decided to continue writing her a poem a day till she makes me stop or till she no longer makes me smile, which won't be any time soon. It's just a little something that came to mind, so I wrote it down.
