Can I? Poem by Heather Z. Hanna

Can I write something as inspirational as a beautiful song?
Can I form the words, line by line,
to make the story an overwhelming emotional journey?
Could it possibly be me who finds the rythym and rhyme
to make people fly?
Or to make them cry?
Could I, Would I, Will I?
OH! Please let it be me!
Let me try!
Let me fly and let me cry!
Let me make the words speak to the Hearts of many.
To the mind and to the soul.
To the young and to the old.
Let me speak,
Lest I leave without trying and never knowing
If it could have been me.
