I'LL BE WHAT I WANTED TO BE, by MARY BRABYN WACKMAN First Line: Sometime I'll come to you again Last Line: For I'll be what I wanted to be. Subject(s): Self | ||||||||
Sometime I'll come to you again -- I may come in the waves of the sea -- You may not know me when I come, But I'll be what I wanted to be. I may come to you again and again -- From the mountain -- from the whispering tree -- But you'll learn me sometime when I come, And what I wanted to be. And where I have failed on my pathway here, When my seeing eyes could not see, Believe me, I'll help you always then; For I'll be what I wanted to be. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A CAPELLA by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA AFTER LOOKING UP INTO ONE TOO MANY CAMERAS by HICOK.
