Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda

                                                         by Wesley (More poems)

I want to do what I can do
while I can do it-
So I'll not later have to sit-
and wish I had.

I need to be all I can be
while I can be it-
So I'll later have to rue
the fact I'm not.

I need to make my dreams come true
while I still have them-
So I'll not later have to dream-
what might have been.

I need to tell you how I feel
while you can hear me-
So I'll not later need to mourn
the chances messed.

I need to hear you say to me
just what you're feeling-
So I'll not later have to guess-
if love or hate.
