Dreams of what achievements could be possible if I had my way.

If I could have my way
I would reach up to the stars
And pluck the spot from Jupiter
And the rings which surround Mars.
I’d climb the tallest mountain
And swim the widest sea
I’d dance with the USA president
And ask Prince Charles to tea.
I’d sail across the desert.
I’d turn dark night into day.
I’d take away all the world’s suffering
If I could have my way.

    I bet you wish you could do all those things. We can all dream.
    A good one.

    How wonderful Christine. A beautiful poem. I would like to do all those things except, have tea with Prince William. LOL

    Well that piece certainly gives a new meaning to ‘reaching for the stars’ .. and it’s an uplifting and inspirational one at that :-)
