Shall I Then Stay Still?
If I talk long enough
I'll say something wrong.
Shall I then stay still?
Am I weak or am I strong
To state my case at will?
If blue birds sing a sour note
if violinists fail,
to play Bethoven's every note,
Will beauty not prevail?
we're only human after all
and must at times fall short,
To miss the mark, to drop the ball,
...............................................................
(add the last line if you will my friends.)
