Hmm. I used to take french...but I don't think I'm good enough to do that. I can send you the english version if you'd like. That way you can translate it maybe.
There's so much truth in this, Ricky. Even when we don't see its presence, that urgent drive to want more is always pushing us. It takes a truly enlightened individual to learn how to enjoy the present moment. And perhaps that enlightenment comes only by living an entire life of being driven to want more. I can't say; I have so many years yet to go.
pure, simple, meaningful....from a published poet, a forensic victory got me my varsity letter, reading my own poems at state comp. you are talented, and i am proud to call you friend right now.
Thankyou Cherri for sharing, appreciated. Well Ricky, what a talented young poet! A lifestory in a poem. My respect to you, very well done! 5***** Be blessed young friend I will be watching for more!......Diane.
Ricky 5th revisit and I had to comment again: This poem is worthy of being published!! Again I say to one so young, you'll never have to wish, what to become. A writer, director, a poet you should be, you'll entertain million by the time your twenty three. (kinda corny...haha) but I think you've got the stuff. You're awesome dood!!! Gil =o)
Hey ricky I am impressed so much insight from a guy so young, so very well narrated, you deserve more than a 5 , great video altogether,a remarkable work, and what a message to all of us , its true we are never happy always wanting more, we should be grateful for our plate as we have been given it , and live for the moment to the best of your lot.
dear ricky, with your youbg voice and surely age, your words are those of a wise old man. i still say, please wish, go on wishing and dreaming, and make most of them come true. thank you for the beautiful poem and video, and thanks to cherri for sharing it *****
Hey Ricky :) Beautiful poem and vid to go with it. An excellent reminder of the need to stay in the present and enjoy what we have here and now as we journey through life. Sunbeam :)
I just really have to thank everyone who sent this video out to their contacts.I really don't think I know everyone who did (because not everyone is my contact), but you don't know how much of a compliment it really is. I've sent out personal thank yous.
Rickey..this is amazing my friend..it gave me chills the whole time I was listening to it,let's us not wish our life away,but instead live it day to day!!
Great going once again Ricky :) I love it Good pacing, meter in the reading of the poem... the visuals serve to keep the eyes busy while you listen without distracting from the poem itself.
Outstanding, it may be! Maybe from a fan you see. It's you that has the key, so maybe, outstanding it will be. For a fan I am you see and 5 stars it will be.
Your composition is beautifully written and heartfelt. The video is wonderfully done, however; your narration creates a spellbinding visual all its own. Thank you for sharing this brilliant work of art.
Rick, that was just beautiful. Just beautiful beyond your years. I wanted to be an astronaut, I married at 38, I inherited two kids, who went to college, and I turn 50 this year. I am happy to say I have not wished my life away, and by best years have both already been spent, and are yet to come! What a heart you have! Beautiful footage, beautiful poem. Just beautiful. Take your own advice, young man.
that was really agreat poem.that happens to people alot.i know of a few that did that very thing.they just wished and never got any where,didn't have any thing or any one.
they wasted there lives.don't waste yours,stay in school get a good job,be somebody.you rock.
Just that one little thing... the ref to fighting Indians. I'm sure as they listened, they stopped. Careful what you wish.

So true. I have found that enjoying where you're at is a key. Even if Summer is your favorite season, you'd better learn to love Winter too.
Reminds me a bit of Adam Sandler's movie "Click". No need want things to hurry up, life really moves at supersonic speed as it is.
