You Can

How many times have we said,
we cannot do this or that?

How many times do we say it,
because we do not want to try?

Nothing is impossible,
think positive, and say, you can.

Trying and failing,
is no real crime.

Never to try at all,
now that is a crime.

You never know what you can do,
until you give it a try.

Just keep saying to yourself,
you can, and you will.
