Bernard Barclay Poet Narrative

We Can Climb Mountains

Dear Susan 

I wish that 
I could get through to you,
you are such a good looking girl,
yet the problems, I see in your future,

yelling at children 
being willing, to accept 
fools as boy friends, 
how I wished I could give

the wisdom of my years,
watching you take drugs,
struggling through life,
always, struggling to pay the bills

I shake my head, 
but still cant change the way you act,
life can be easy or hard,
a good career give's you,
 
twice the money to pay the bills, 
but drugs take away, 
your ability to learn,
I wish that I could give you my knowledge

so that you could overcome, 
the problems in your life,
so that you could have, 
the life you want.

Instead all I have is my friendship,
a love that will always care, 
an acceptance that I can't change, 
other people, they have to do that themselves,

life can be a dream,
where happiness rules the house,
we can climb mountains, 
we just have to buy the rope.
