I Would Never Know

I Would Never Know Maybe you could say I am being cynical My poetry career is reaching its pinnacle Being a nice guy never having any greed In leaps and bounds poems take the lead. High standards for myself I have now set Some say my goals are close to being met How much higher must my standards be Before they have become a part of reality. Where must I then go while also how far? So I can start becoming to be a raising star Truly time tells and always will know all And poetry challenge soon starts to call. The love of poetry lies before my feet Write more poems temptation may meet They in my life continue to freely flow If it wasn't for God, I would never know.
