What if

Poetry

1 Jul

One day he just couldn’t understand,

So thought he shouldn’t and he wouldn’t

Do it.

One day he saw he could

So thought he should and would

Do it.

But what if what he couldn’t or thought he couldn’t-

Could.

What if what he wouldn’t so thought he shouldn’t

would and should

Succeed.

Limited though he thought he was

Little though he thought he had

He may have been the best of all

If only he had tried.
