If I Could Live Forever Poem by Allen Steble The Philosophical Poet

If I Could Live Forever

Rating: 5.0


If i could live forever
I definitely would...
walk through the dark frozen canyon
of the great Valles Marineris of mars
I'd fly in a jet stream above the Himalayan mountains
and try and count the uncountable stars
I would surf in the clouds of the Eagle Nebula
and would paint the swirls of the southern aurora
I would try those things
if I could live forever
(...I would)

If i could live forever
I would...
climb the summit of Olympus Mons
wearing a polo shirt and flop thongs
I'd ski down the slope of Everest
I'd live it wild, in the wild wild west
I would swim across the pacific
in a wooden boat with a large paddle stick
I would try those things
if I could live forever
(...I would)

If I could live forever
I probably would...
reach the borders of space
at my own steady pace
I could jump three hundred meters high
on the moon's low gravity
I could run and fly
in lands of wonder and mystery
I would try those things
if i could live forever
(...yes I believe I would)

If I could live forever
then I would...
cruise around our sun
while having endless amounts of fun
I'd chase the Kuiper belt
and watch Haley's comet slowly melt
I'd venture far into Andromeda
and explore every known natural wonder
yes the list would go on forever
I would try everything!
if I could live forever
(...then I might just do those things)
