You Can't Have It All

But you can have the warm, balmy summer breeze

like the touch of your mother when you are sick.

You can have a dog

licking your face showing his love

and companionship.

You can have memories,

from past and present,

all stacked up in just one album.

You can have millions of thoughts going through your head,

and still know how to express them.

You can be at a room filled with people and still feel lonely

like a bird lost from its mom.

You can have millions of people saying good comments about you,

but at the end,

the one you’ll always think about

is the demeaning comment

from a random stranger

which ruined your day.

You can have fights with friends and siblings,

but you know they'll always be there for you.

You can go back to your country

and still feel like an immigrant,

as if you have never visited or even known about it.

You can have your moms kiss,

your dads hugs,

and your sisters advice.

You can have faith and hope in god.

He'll help you with your problems and advice you when failing

You can be afraid of failure and afraid of success.

But even if you failed you'll always,

sooner or later, land on success.

You can have love.

You can hate.

But always hope for the best.

Dream big.

And always follow your dreams.

You can't have everything you wish for,

but you can have dreams to pursue.
