That you can need someone; but suddenly outgrow them,
That the one that you desire; isn’t the one you always get,
That in order to swim the ocean; you must first escape the net.

That you can dream of something; and never get it,
That you can do something; and never forget it,
That you can give your heart; only to have it broken,
That you can think a thousand thoughts; yet none of them be spoken.

That you can meet another; and have them walk right by,
That when you feel pain; the best thing to do is cry,
That you can own the earth; and still be a pauper,
That we are all of us someone’s son; or someone’s daughter.

That night will always become day; and the day give into night,
That just because something’s wrong; it doesn’t mean it isn’t right,
That every soul shall be healed; in time,
That healing is helped; by simple rhyme. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Ruby2sdy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

That you can love someone; and never know them,
That you can need someone; but suddenly outgrow them,
That the one that you desire; isn’t the one you always get,
That in order to swim the ocean; you must first escape the net.

That you can dream of something; and never get it,
That you can do something; and never forget it,
That you can give your heart; only to have it broken,
That you can think a thousand thoughts; yet none of them be spoken.

That you can meet another; and have them walk right by,
That when you feel pain; the best thing to do is cry,
That you can own the earth; and still be a pauper,
That we are all of us someone’s son; or someone’s daughter.

That night will always become day; and the day give into night,
That just because something’s wrong; it doesn’t mean it isn’t right,
That every soul shall be healed; in time,
That healing is helped; by simple rhyme.

That thing called destiny that makes things end,
That love we lost can turn around again my friend,
I never say never it helps me to cope,
Things sometimes change, we then have hope.

Great read , I enjoyed it very much . well done a marvellous read. Sue x

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
