How can I do it? <br />Because I know that I can! <br />I wasn't the one to say I could... <br />If I wasn't willing to understand. <br /> <br />Embarrassments I withstood. <br />That did not keep me, <br />From the challenge at hand. <br />I wanted this task, <br />To challenge myself. <br />I am not one, <br />To say I will do something. <br />And then sit and wait... <br />For an earthquake to shake, <br />The land before I make a stand! <br /> <br />How can I do it? <br />Because I know that I can! <br />I am not the one to say I could... <br />If I am not willing to be that man, <br />To do a task I did not understand.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
