Can We Poem by louis rams

Can we write of centuries past of things
That we do not know, and can we recall
Things we read which puts our hearts aglow.

Can we feel Romeos words as he called to Juliet.
And can we feel Juliet s heart as she looked down
From her balcony.
when she felt her heart bursting
Wanting to be free.

Can we see Sampson and Delilah as
She cut off his hair.
Did she do it out of spite
Or did she really care.

Can we see Helen of troy s reaction
When they climbed out of the wooden horse
Did she truly love him, and did she feel remorse.

Can we feel MARY S pain as she had
To give up her begotten son
And did others feel the pain
Or was she the only one.

Can we imagine being nailed to that cross.
And the clothes that the soldiers did not keep
to the ground it would be tossed.

Can we imagine if we did not have
Hope, love, and faith
This is something I care not to contemplate.

Can we live without love-how would we survive
“CAN WE” ?
