a lifetime just ain't enough

is it?
for all the things we wish to do...
for all the things we want to learn...

how can one lifetime be enough to be all the people we want to be...
for everything we wish to achieve...
.... we hope to experience

how can one bloody lifetime be enough for all the places we want to visit...
for all the cities we want to live in...
for all the people we want to live with...

how the hell can one lifetime be enough for all the people we want to love...
for the all the children we want to have...
for all our fantasies...

how is one lifetime enough for all the books i want to read...
for all the words i hope to write...

is one lifetime really enough to be everything i want to be: generous and rich, great mum and great professional, well read and read widely, well fed and thin, sexy, but not do my legs, be the master of my temper, be spontaneous, full of contradictions, but no hypocrite... gossip, but not be gossiped about... is one lifetime enough to be or do all that?
