When... by T. Alisha Rogers

When I think of how life has unfolded

Tears fill my eyes

When I think of the dreams I once had

Tears fill my eyes

When I think of the hope I had

Tears fill my eyes

When it becomes overwhelming

The tears fall, I, I cry.

When I think of what I could be..

A musician,

A poet, 

A novelist,

I say maybe

When I see the blessings around me 

I say... could be

When I wonder if love will find me

Hold me,

Embrace me

I say, we'll see

"When" sometimes never comes...

"When"? may never be
