I Think I Can Poem by Leonard Dabydeen

If you look
at me without knowing
who I am
It is likely your judgment
may fold your mind
with the unthinkable
and in your wandering sojourn
you may believe
I can fly to the moon
become President of my country
sail the seven seas
sleep in the Royal Palace
and have breakfast
with the Queen
or dance with
Bollywood stars
but all you have to do
is just ask me
before you sleep
and think it’s just a dream
because the answer is
I think I can
