-Not Likely-

we were young once and what did we need
sugar
sugar
sugar
we'd beg and plead

we were young once and what did we want
older
older
older
we couldn't wait

we were working once and wondered
what if
what if
what if

we were older and wished
younger
younger
younger

we were retired and wondered
so tired
so retired
so tired

we were standing before our heaven
what's this
what's this
can't it wait

the thing that got to me the most about this one, my friend, is the title. most poignant in its lack of sure...as an answer. interesting poem. i think heaven, being bound by no time, exists without the restraints of wait. the beautiful place has my brother, and yet i feel the waiting is only a burden on my part. i'll be reunited soon enough, i am sure, but i for one hope waiting is for me to do, as i feel a renewed hope that there's much for me to do, feel and learn here before trotting happily there.
good piece, carolinadreams. thought provoking for me at least.
