A Thousand Ways
If I could be loved a thousand ways
I’d only want to be loved by you
If I could be kissed a thousand times
I’d only want to be kissed by you
If I cried a thousand tears
I’d only want you to wipe them away
If I laughed a thousand times
I’d only want you to share the joy
If I dreamed a thousand dreams
I’d only want to dream of you
If I faced a thousand fears
I’d only want you for my strength
If I failed a thousand times
I’d only want you to pick me up
And, If I could live a thousand lives
I’d only want one to share with you

About the Author
Robert Gill Yeager was a multiracial child orphaned at birth in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1959 and lived in a variety of foster homes and institutions while growing up, experiencing a surreal odyssey of hardships and at times abuse. Robert held on to the belief that there was always a greater life force than himself and that by embracing this belief he was able to somehow survive his trials and tribulations, despite the odds that were stacked against him from birth. After graduating from high school Robert joined the United States Navy and was able to travel the world where he gained further, deeper insights into life than what he had already accumulated from his childhood. Robert’s poetry offers truly deep, honest and passionate insights into life based on his vast life experiences and hopes readers can connect to the true meaning of their own lives the way Robert has stayed connected to his. Robert has been writing poetry for 30 years and discovered his ‘voice’ after moving to Los Angeles from his humbled beginnings in Pittsburgh, enduring the culture shock of the move all along the way since.
