Without it, it Cannot


The sky cannot cry without the clouds,
The stars cannot shine without the night,
The universe cannot be without the Lord,
 
A boat cannot sail without the wind, 
A horse cannot run without the ground,
A human cannot write without pen,
 
We cannot care without compassion,
We cannot love without patience,
We cannot forgive without truth,                                    
               
They cannot without,
So discard the not and out,
Abide the can and with,
To the you and I,
For endless cannots and withouts is faulty,
Lest it be when I reveal, 
To live without you, 
 I cannot.
