You Can't Have It All

But you can have the rain pouring from the sky, like the water from the Niagara Falls.
You can have the sound of your alarm clock, waking you up every morning, whispering into your ear: “hit the snooze button and everything will be okay.”
You can have the giggles that children make at every joke, and the sweet chime of birds in the morning, always putting you in a good mood. You can have love at first sight, and after a day, watch her slip away from your arms and into another country.
You can have the honeybee sit on the nectar in between the misted yellow petals of a flower.
You can have the angel and the devil residing on each shoulder making you pick heads or tails.
You can speak a language, but yet, no one gets you; like an English kid in Spain. You can have a honeybee sting send someone off to their funeral.
You can’t have a perfect world, but you can have the sweet and peaceful noise that nature has to offer.
You can have your 2 year-old cousin say: “the first word I learnt in school today, was moco”.
You can have a dream, a dream where you were the president of your own world- a world where no one would treat you like an outsider. You can have your father sit on your bed trying to get you to sleep, while he brings Peter Pan and Robin Hood to life.
You can’t have the Holy Grail, but you can have the refreshing drink of fresh lemonade after an intense work out. And when you can’t sleep on a stormy night, you can revive that old memory where you depict the sheep jumping over the fence a hundred times, and finally fall asleep.
You can’t have the sweet smell of world peace, but you can have your favorite songs cheering you up after a bad day. You can’t control the wind or blow onto the direction you desire, but you can have the azure skies revealing the sun’s smile.
You can’t have the beauty of a flower all for yourself, but you can have the leaves of a tree that will grant you your every wish for everything you can’t have.
