With my darkling

0 posted 2003-05-16 02:35 AM


I should have been a painter
my depth, my breath a canvas

I should have been a doctor
and healed you

I may have been a priest,
I know I am often right

I could have been a scholar
and looked outward for answers

Or maybe a philospher, and looked
inside for them

I could have been a killer
and let my pain control me

No, thats not me

I wish I had been  Jason,
greek hero

I hope to be remembered

But if tommorrow, I awake and
am only a father and husband

That will do

I'll bet you are a really cool daddy.
And that's a mighty big enough job for anyone.

A painter of words, which tomorrows generation shall read. Could never see you as a priest! lol! although you do have an annoying habit of being right!  But, cutting through the chase, I am glad you are you. Well penned as usual.
