Believe The Impossible Poem by Jillian Keenan

“I can't do it! ” she said with a frown
She went back to her seat, and sat herself down
“You're right! ” he exclaimed
as she looked down in shame
Hiding her face behind her long mane

“I don't get it! ” She said the next day
as if she it had changed since yesterday
He shook his head and then glanced down
“OK, then give up! If you want it that way?

She thought for a moment
“I'll try one more time, but I don't think I can
I'm just wasting my time.”

He laughed and agreed
she fell to her knees
she couldn't believe he could be so mean

“Listen child, close your eyes,
can you see it? Can you see it fly? ”

Puzzled as she was, she imagined a bird
souring gracefully, without a care in the world.

“That bird never once let the thought cross it's mind,
that it wouldn't one day rule the sky.”

She opened her eyes, blinded with enlightment,
she tried one more time...
and laughed with excitement.

“There is nothing out of reach,
and nothing is impossible
If you believe in yourself
You will be unstoppable.
