Puskin played his part Why not I?

Puskin played his part Why not I?

That I May yet across a summer glade brooding 

Imagine love true love through my boyish vision 

And yet may I remember it hence 

At a time this time of writing 

With the clarity that would as it was passing now. 

That I May yet paint a picture truly 

Not guided by a dream not dreamed but stolen 

That I may figure such words as love 

From a canvas freshly met and at points still dripping. 

That I May yet open up to my losses 

Counting them fairly not feigning to carefree 

That I may recognize each moment’s worth 

Or accept that at times I could have done and more bravely.
