    The Future

    I wish that I could know you with your misfortunes and satisfaction.

    I wish that I could know you: the result of all of my actions.

    I wish that I could know you and see my present mistakes.

    I wish that I could know you and avoid all of your heartaches.

    I wish that I could know you and see from how far you'll come.

    I wish that I could know you and see from which things to run.

    I wish that I could know you and I would know the end of my days.

    I wish that I could know you and I'd know how to amend my ways.

    I wish that I could know you but to know you is not my job.

    To know you is to charge you and that belongs to God.

    Good poem. I love poems that talk from the perspective of an object, someone other than ourselves, or some other thing - in this case, the future. It always makes them more interesting.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
