SomedayA Poem by John McGraeloriginally called, "Can You?", its precursor was published on this website a couple of months agoCan you hold your head up high, While others force it down? Can you look up to the sky, But live upon the ground? Can you know a million names, And speak them one-by-one? Can you have a million days, But live like you have none? Can you sleep in perfect peace, in your house haunted with regret? and Can you truly be that man, Behind your silhouette? Can you walk among the graves, And smile at the lives; That etched themselves into the stone, And said their last goodbyes? If the sun is setting, Can you still embrace the day? If you walk the road less travelled by, Can you find your way? If you look into a mirror, and If you look into your eyes; Can you see the boy? Who lives, and loves, and laughs, and cries? If you say you do, And If you say you can; then Can I please sir ask of you, To take me by the hand? And guide me down, That less travelled way; So I may say, "I Can!" Someday! © 2010 John McGraelAuthor's Note
