HOW COULD I REACH THEE? <br />Melvin Banggollay <br /> <br /> <br />How could I reach thee <br />When you're like the sky <br />Unlike me forever down <br />among the dust in town. <br /> <br />You wear crown of beads <br />with glitering golden heads <br />Unlike me forever a clown <br />smiling to earn a pound. <br /> <br />You sip nectar of honey <br />In a glass for the wealthy <br />While I dig deep my hand <br />only to live just like a man. <br /> <br />How can I ever reach thee <br />When I felt so unworthy <br />To hold you in this palm <br />with nothing but a psalm.<br /><br />MELVIN BANGGOLLAY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-could-i-reach-thee/
