I’ll Never See…
A poem about the world and feelings about never being able to travel.
I think that I shall never see such wonder as is the world of ours,
Sunsets on the beaches of Madrigal far beyond my powers,
The vastness of the Canadian countryside just beyond my reach,
No options for me to set my feet on the sand of a Bahamian beach,
Such wonder and such beauty are left only for others to see,
Leaving a life less fully lived trapped between two borders oceans confining me,
Wonders in a country so vast could fill a life like mine,
Even trapped and imprisoned by circumstance, likely I’ll be fine,
Special places undiscovered will have remained imagined,
Without wings and the air, there’s no way to get to them in a timely fashion,
I’ll miss the idea of seeing the Aztec temples or the Washington coast,
