Together, We Can Make Things Happen! Poem by Denis Martindale

Go it alone if you want to,
Go it alone day by day,
Go it alone without a clue,
Go it alone all the way...
But when you're done, come back to me,
With all your pain and doubt
And then, together, one, two, three,
We'll really sort it out!

Go it alone if you're steadfast,
Go it alone if you must,
Go it alone if you're downcast,
Go it alone till you're bust...
But when you're done, come back again,
With frowns upon your brow
Because, together, there and then,
We'll both succeed and how!

Go it alone if you're willing,
Go it alone if you dare,
Go it alone if fulfilling,
Go it alone, yet beware...
For when you're done, my frail old friend,
With battle scars galore,
It's then, on me, you can depend!
I'll help you out for sure!

So make your mind up and be wise,
Together, we're a team,
Our heads held high, towards the skies,
Not sleeping in a dream...
Success can happen for us two,
If side-by-side we march!
There's just one thing that you must do:
Remember! I'M IN CHARGE!
