Accepting Limitations

I cannot preach you a silvery sermon

but I can 

 

make you look to the heavens

while worshipping my body

as you beg for mercy

down on your knees.

 

 

I cannot put an end to world hunger

but I can

 

create a buffet

of delicious decadent treats

prepared with steady hands

to feed your malnourished soul.

 

 

I cannot find a cure for cancer

but I can

 

bring to your bedside

a first-aid kit 

filled with healing love

surpassing any shot or pill.

 

 

I cannot promise you tomorrow

but I can

 

pledge to stand by your side

take your honest hand in mine

forget to stare down the time

that would threaten to make this night end.

Author's Note

Another poem I wrote while with the ex. If nothing else I got some good material off him.

I really, REALLY liked this!!! Life expierences, as painful as they may be, can create some of the greatest inspirations for our writing. :) Good job!
