      Can't Do It

      I lack the imagination

      to write a great poem,

      the insight

      that is needed to read a soul,

      the vision

      to comprehend time,

      the wisdom

      to read the stars.

      I can

      see beauty in a flower

      or a baby's laugh,

      in a song

      or a helping hand

      but that is not enough

      more, much
