But I Can’t Do Them!

 **

 I’ve got things I’ll love to say,

But I can’t say them.

 **

I’ve got things I’ll love to see,

But I can’t see them.

 **

I’ve got words and sounds I’ll love to hear,

But I can’t hear them.

** 

I’ve got things I’ll love to touch,

But I can’t touch them.

** 

I’ve got tears I’ll love to cry,

But I can’t cry them.

 **

I’ve got laughter I’ll love to laugh,

But I can’t laugh them.

 **

I’ve got places I’ll love to go,

But I can’t go them.

 **

I’ve got things I’ll love to hold,

But I can’t hold them.

 **

I’ve got things I’ll rather refuse,

But I can’t refuse them.

 **

I’ve got things I’ll love to eat,

But I can’t eat them.

 **

I’ve got things I’ll love to hate,

But I can’t hate them.

 **

I’ve got things I’ll love to love,

But I can’t love them.

** 

I’ve got things I’ll love to do,

But I can’t do them.

**

The reason why I can’t, I’m still trying to find,

But I still can’t find them.

Ever found yourself in this kind of situation? Not being able to do what you’ll love to do, when you want to do them, and not knowing why you just can’t bring yourself to do them? Maybe it’s just a “pause-period” in the scheme of life. Maybe it’s just the way it is. Maybe it’s just nothing.

“But if it’s good, if it’s worthy, if it’s humanitarian, if it adds value and promotes the greater good, then you’ve got to find a way to pick yourself up and DO IT!!!!“

I had fun writing this spur-of-the-moment post. Slightly different from the way I usually write. “Maybe, it’s another side of me I am yet to discover; but I still can’t discover them.” Hope you enjoyed it too. Blessings!
