Every soul's
got a goal,
and we all get a shot.
Gotta take it... to make it,
though we don't get a lot.
If forever were ever
if forever were bought,
just give me a dime
and some time
(just whatever you've got)...
For every goal's
got a soul,
so whatever I've sought
I've gotta fake it... to make it...
because it's never a lot.
Now I know that I'm not
so heavenly brought,
but please allow me to give
all I've got.
I've got a lot.
My first poem was written on May 15th, 1995. It was about basketball. Every year on that date since, I write another poem about where I am in my basketball life. The original is in some notebook somewhere, and I'll add it to the site one day. Click here to see others.
