Should I? Poem by Myra Vieira

Should I?

Rating: 5.0


Should I raise, my arms up high,
And try to touch, the clear, blue sky?
Should I let, the birds build nests,
In my strong arms and let them rest?

I do not know what I should do
Lest I am cut by them or you.

Should I rest firm, on the river’s edge,
Hold firm the soil, and be a hedge?
Should I spread, my leaves out wide,
So in my shade, you can hide?

I do not know what I should do
Lest I am axed by them or you.

Should I sway, as the wind goes by,
Laugh and dance, or weep and sigh?
Should I fear, that my long life,
Will be cut short, by axe or knife?

I do not know what I should do
Lest I am felled by them or you.

Should I bear fruit, and fragrant flower,
Delight you, with my green power?
Should I stand tall, not think about pain,
Play with clouds, enjoy the rain?

Tell me please, what should I do?
You can help me, only you!
