"you Cant Always Get What You Want"

We want what we want We need what we need Confusing the two We beg on our knees We have what we have We are who we are Holding out your hand Only takes you so far Pleading and hoping Holding whats never to be Clinging and wishing clouded with desire, we cant see Our blessings and beauties fall back seat To our hopeless longings All we think we need But I still know Perhaps you dont That we cant always get What we want

Sometimes what we want is probably not good for us so we don't get it.. no one likes that for a final answer but your poetry is very well written on this subject and have enjoyed this happy weekend..with luv..

Nice spin on the Rolling Stones' song, Jaci. And it's true that we don't always get what we want. I like to think there's a reason for this. Love, Carolyn
