Taking The Long View Poem by Deborah Loraine Kean

Taking The Long View

Rating: 5.0


One day we will stand
Having run, and striven and fought
We've seen all that we planned
Quickly come to nought

But then, ah yes, we'll know
It wasn't doomed at all
There are reasons this and that were so
We didn't always fall

But isn't the wait all too much, sometimes?

Like this... an untrendy Victorian theme given wry modern treatment. And oh yeah, it does ring true.
