Cannot Have Everything That We Want Poem by Hebert Logerie

We cannot have everything that we want in life
We cannot have at the same time a young wife
And a gorgeous girlfriend at the very same time
Oh! That would be a mortal sin, a major crime.

We cannot have the ice cream and all of the flavors
Nobody on earth has everything and all the glitters
Except Mother Nature who possesses all the flowers
And God who owns all from the sky to the deep waters.

We can never have everything that we want out of here
We need to feel blessed with what we possess my dear
Friends. Be happy that we have a great health right now.

Even too much of a good thing can be bad or detrimental
If you think I am lying; go ask a buffalo or a ravenous cow
On this earth, we are all immigrants, and nobody is eternal.
