TUNGGUUUUU........
DO NOT SAY : I CAN'T
by Edgar A. Guest
Can't is the worst word that's written or spoken;
Doing more harm here than slander and lies;
On it is many a strong spirit broken,
And with it many a good purpose dies.
It springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning
And robs us of courage we need through the day:
It rings in our ears like a timely-sent warning
And laughs when we falter and fall by the way.
Can't is a word none should speak without blushing;
To utter it should be a symbol of shame;
Ambition and courage it is daily crushing;
It blights a man's purpose and shortens his aim.
It poisons the soul of the man with a vision,
It stifles in infancy many a plan;
It greets honest toiling with open derision
And mocks at the hopes and the dreams of a man.
Can't is the word that is foe to ambition,
An enemy ambushed to shatter your will;
Its prey is forever the man with a mission
And bows but to courage and patience and skill.
Hate it, with hatred that's deep and undying,
For once it is welcomed, 'twill break any man;
Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep trying
And answer this demon by saying: 'I CAN.'
Sabo......
