We who Would

we who would,
and almost can;
standing in the face
of if and should.

we who can,
and almost would;
never quite reaching
the farthest shore.

we who dare,
beyond our fears;
close our eyes and
jump into eternity.

we who pray
to an unknown God;
making a conscious choice
to be more than we are.

we who would,
and today we will;
whatever the cost,
without regrets!
