What if what was….never was? <br /> <br />The start of life, a mystery <br />We wouldn’t have a history <br /> <br />There’d be nothing to remember <br />If all began in late December <br /> <br />We couldn’t learn from past mistakes <br />The thought of it gives me the shakes <br /> <br />Where we came from, we’d never know <br />We wouldn’t have a long ago <br /> <br />So, I am grateful, just becuz <br />There will always be an “always was” <br /> <br /> <br />dedicated to my father William Cooper <br />whose pet expression was, <br />“always was”.<br /><br />Stanley Cooper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-was/
