The Poems That I Never Wrote

I got some poems that I never wrote 
About some journeys that I never took 
And the fine hearts that I never roped 
For not knowing how to look 

I wish I could spin the time 
Back to the day when I was born 
When I was still at best of prime 
And my fate was not yet torn 

I would have written about a beauty 
That was brighter than the light of dawn 
That would have been my glorious bounty 
That would have caused my rein to spawn 

She would have brought me to a place 
Where I could tame the time and space 
For heaven is by her side 
Where I don't need to fear the tide 

I would have written about love 
That's greater than the stars above 
I would have caused her charming look 
To grace the pages of my book

Thank you very much... It really was inspired by the heart that I did not rope...
