    Not To Be

    I can not watch the sunrise
    nor hear the oceans roar
    I can not see the skies of blue
    up where the eagles soar
    I can not smell the rain that falls
    on a summers afternoon
    I will never know the stars at night
    nor the fullness of the moon
    I can not be your comfort
    Should your heart be broken
    I can never feel the love you give
    from words that you have spoken
    I can never share the joy you feel
    on any given day
    I can not even if I try
    no matter just how hard I pray
    I can not stop to smell the roses
    nor feel the pain upon it’s thorn
    You decided I was not to be
    So I wasn’t even born

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
