Notes About The Poem


Heidi Sands

9/11/23

Maybe

Maybe I wasn’t ready for,
the love that I was seeking?
Maybe I wasn’t ready for more
to receive what I’d been giving?

Maybe I let fear rule my mind…
afraid of losing something I wanted to find
Maybe I just saw that look in your eyes,
that sent me flying toward the skies

Chorus

So many maybe’s, all answers adrift
Onward on a boat with a mood I’m trying to lift
So many maybe’s, that I want to let go
Hoping and praying for the good times to flow


So, maybe I am finally ready now,
to transfer my courage to you and I somehow
Maybe, I hold a special place
in my heart where I keep seeing your face

Maybe you are now ready to see,
what I was trying to tell you about me
Maybe you will also want to fly too,
hand in hand, wings spread, in skies so blue

Chorus Repeat

So many maybe’s, all answers adrift
Onward on a boat with a mood I’m trying to lift
So many maybe’s, that I want to let go
So I’m hoping and praying for the good times to flow

Hello Heidi, A fine chorus of maybes sung "So many maybe’s, all answers adrift". Nice tune to carry. -Richard

A great song of romance Heidi. I too do not sing but I always hear the tune in my head. I wish I had paid more attention to playing an instrument when I was young.

Thank you. I hear the tune in my head too. It is never too late to try playing an instrument. It is fun :)

You should have this lovely song set to music, my dear friend. Its delightful, charming, romantic--all wrapped in passionate feelings. Loved it all--superb chorus! A beauty and a FAVE for me, Heidi.
