A LIST OF THINGS TO BE
Never an astronaut, dancing slowly upon the moon,
Flying in a jet across the sky, no, not did I ever fly.
A football star throwing the ball far, a dream that won’t be,
Under the lights, a victory on a Superbowl night.
What is it like to be a movie star pretending to be many things,
Known everywhere, this is not what I was born to be.
An Olympic star, a racer of cars, I wanted to be but that’s not me,
A great writer, a hero of sort would be something I might be.
A rescuer of the down and out, a conqueror of homelessness,
I may not be an Einstein of genius, I am good enough for me,
A list of things to be, how much can one man need?

After, reaching for, all these dreams we can’t, quite reach, we are, finally, settled, comfortable, in, being, our, selves.
Thanks for your thoughts
