A well written poem by Shel Silverstein
His writings have been translated into thirty differently languages and selling over 20 million copies. One of his quotes is so simple yet so poetic.
If the track is tough and the hill is rough, THINKING you can just ain't enough!
The poem is titled Forgotten Language and I hope you enjoy the beauty in his words.
Forgotten Language by Shel Silverstein
Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the housefly
in my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questions
of the crickets,
And joined the crying of each falling dying
flake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .
How did it go?
How did it go?
