We All Have Very Faint Ideas.

We all don’t really know

Of figures we could embrace,

If we could dearly spread our arms.

We all would never tell

the places we could reach,

If we could simply make the move.

We all don’t have a clue

of songs we could sing,

If we could softly raise our voices.

We all don’t really know

the tales we would tell,

If we could justly craft the words.

We all would never tell

of visions we could see,

If we could daringly raise our eyes.

We all don’t have a clue

the much we could love,

If we could caringly use the heart.

We all have very faint ideas

of what we could really do,

If we could only try.
