If Only I Can Understand Life's Nucleus Poem by John Sensele

If only I can understand life's centrality
Involves more than my needs
I'd adopt and promote humility
To grow and know fate's feeds.

If only I can understand life's orbit
Involves more than my desire
I'd adopt and promote standing on my own feet
To grow and know emancipation's empire.

If only I can understand life's nucleus
Involves more than my goals
I'd adopt and promote pancreas
To grow and know friendship's foals.

If only I can understand life's significance
Involves more than my feelings
I'd adopt and promote perseverance
To grow and know sentiment ceilings.
