Perhaps

Perhaps is such a tentative word
A voice, perhaps, one never heard,
The kiss that might have begun
A song now forgotten, once sung
The dream once borne in strife,
Not realized in the failures of life
Perhaps, with best wishes sown,
Bidding farewell never truly known.

This is the poem I wish I had thought to write, and you have completely covered PERHAPS so now I never will.

Aw, thanks, Caren. You can still write one on "perhaps." I'd love to read it!
