Could Have Been
dedicated to : Barbara Clive Caruso
Life is filled with "could have beens".
"should have beens" and more.
Lives that touch and fade apart,
Missing what's in store.
A fleeting star passed through the sky
Lonely for a wish,
Whizzing off to other worlds
Dismayed at being missed.
Ships pass unseen in the night
They float on doldrum seas
Failing to excite a tide
Or stir a living breeze.
Where love was new it fades away
And other roads we've ta'en
A wasted chance for true romance
What "could have been" we've slain.
And yet we stop, look back in time
and see what we have missed;
A gentle laugh and loving smile
and lips we've never kissed.
Perhaps and maybes,might have beens
and what ifs fill our minds.
Two roads once leading far apart;
could they each other find?
And then one day they intersect
That wish, our star has found.
Two ships have gained that steady breeze
to lead them homeward bound.
So, side by side we stand and walk
we face the coming day.
Now knowing that our "could have been"
forever's gone away.
