You Can't Have It All

But you can have
a new journey,
a new destination
like a blink of an eye..
You can have the hot days
of summer, the sun shinning,
the azure sky,
the perfect day that comes
only once a year.
But you can have seven shopping bags at the same time
without
having to worry about
paying bills (only if you are a kid).
But you can have a mothers hug, when you need consoling...
A best friends words and knowledge
when you are in trouble..
You can have
someone that will always be there for you
no matter what...
But you can have a flower,
a flower
that is not just another flower in the garden..
But you can have the opportunity to make
a wish every 11:11,
every dandelion,
every candle you blow on your birthday..
without knowing if they will come true.
But you can have a brother,
that can be annoying...
He will always send you texts at two or three A.M,
just to tell you what he did last night.
But you can have the chance
to go up in an airplane and feel,
like you could touch the clouds for the first time in your life,
just like a fledgling flying for the first time.
But you can have the chance to laugh,
as loud as you can.
Live,
like there is no tomorrow,
and love someone,
with all your heart and soul.
But you can make a mistake, regret it later, but with time, you'll fix it.
Everybody makes mistakes.
But you can have someone always
whispering in your ear,
making you notice whats right and wrong,
and whispering in a serene, calm voice,
you can have a lot of great things,
but you can't have it all.
