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 Super bowl 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?

Hey — did you know — that WordPress changed somehow .. and now I have noticed that sometimes words — go off the page — and the whole poem can’t be read … can you change your spacing so I can read this please? Thank you.
I thought it was fixed.
