Never had I hoped
For the impossible
Never for wings
Nor for fins
Never had i dreamed
Of measuring
The ocean's depth
Nor the earth's breadth
Nor did I ever expect
The impossible...
All that I hoped
Was to be treated
As human as possible
All that I hoped
Was a loving glance
That would bring me shine
All that I hoped
Was a warm touch
That would melt me
All that I hoped
Was to see the earth
Filled with love
All that I hoped
Was compassion as deep
As the oceans
All that I hoped
Was a sky full of
Cheer and peace
Never had I hoped
For the impossible
Never for wings
Nor for fins
Never had i dreamed
Of measuring
The ocean's depth
Nor the earth's
Length and breadth...
Ah, I would gladly trade any hold on the impossible for the possible

Ironies of life, we seem to be struggling for achieving things that are easily possible. Beautiful poem.
