Aiming for heaven [short poem]

I will almost certainly fail,

and all this, everything,

will amount to nothing.

And yet this, to have tried,

to have imagined

how wonderful the world could be,

and to have striven

for a piece of heaven,

to have toiled

for the things that might…

Time’s almost up.

we may not reach it,

but if it’s coming,

I can hardly wait.
