    Poem Commentary

    Learning to say you can when you can't is easier said.

    I Can't

     I can't I just can't
    How many times we've used  those words
    It doesn't fit right
     I can't make it work
    Try again you can do it
    I can't I can't I can't
    Can't never did anything
    But you can

    You can loose yourself in a world
    Of denial self pity
    Simply put can't to the test
    Go to battle try again
    Never say never to can't

    You can't if you don't try
    Shape that square peg
    Make a round pig fit
    Try again you can

    Solve that problem
    Think positive instead
    Never say can't until you try
    Never say can't you can

    Generally true - and a good attititude to instill in children,, but - Can you fly? Can you jump over a mountain? Can you play the piano with your ears?

    You can fly over a mountain (in a Plane) You can climb a mountain (and jump with a rope) taking steps to safly find the other side.It might take a while but mountain climbers have done it. You can make a tune on the piano with your ears but it may not sound good.. People eat with their feet who have no arms. If there is a will ,you might just find a way. If not you have tried Use of common sence works. LOL Please dont do anything trastic. I get your point. Reality fits in there with common sence.

    Thank you Marie that is true. In many people in general deal with it everyday.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
