Will we ever realize
what we do to self
and what we throw away.
How many fools
be bestowed
such grand gifts,
lost so foolishly,
as opportunity gifted
goes a lifetime,
never known again.
And I pray,
as breath is held,
and look to the stars
searching for
light revealed,
holding wisdom
and answers,
and dreams realized,
given the credence
due them,
just once,
just once,
I dream,
I pray,
Let it be so.
