I Can
I am able without a doubt
To take whatever comes my way
Because I believe that I hear a shout
Which says "I Can" every day
When all hope is shattered, it seems
And I am in the stress of strife
I will still lift my chin and chase my dreams
In this battle, I call "My Life"
I will not wait until tomorrow comes
To do what must be done
Because there is no "Can't"
Where I come from
I am as faithful as our sun
I do not believe that the world is to blame
For my grief or cares
And I do not think a single soul
Should feel ashamed
If my load is more than theirs
I bravely walk along a path I call my own
Not a step, do I take in fear
"I Can" is the name of my song
And I will sing it
Even
Through my tears

Thank you LL. Hope you are feeling better. :)
Neva,
Your burden is huge...Your passion is conmensurate! You are a walking example of the adage, 'that which doesen't break me, makes me strong.'
You have my unbridled respect and affections.

Thank you Newell, we all carry burdens that affect each of us differently. I believe it is how we carry those burdens, that makes the difference.

And I will sing it

thank you for your kind comments Dawid. :)
Another great poem from a very gifted poet.
I've seen people with smaller burdens completely withdraw from the world or become hard and cold. You chose to become the epitome of grace. You're an inspiration to us all.
Thank you Jack :)
Yes, you can because we are unique creatures made by God, and are worth the same, we are creatures made free, the next step forward is that only you can decide.
Absolutely Juan, thank you for your comments. :)

Excellent poem, always brilliant... Neva !!! THank ..
Absolutely beautiful Neva. Sorry I've fallen a bit out of stumble (toolbar troubles still) and was busy this past month with novel-writing.
I kept saying this "I Can" over and over to myself while writing :) with a 30 day deadline, I wasn't sure I could but the two words alone each day....I Can and I Did.
Your poetry always amazes me, and glad now I can get some more time to review it. Incredble talent!!! Thank you for this! :) April
lovely poem with a great finish - the positivity shines through
