What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
I was inspired by this quote to write the following poem.
No Failure Today
But of course you can fail,
Is what you might say,
Is what you might say,
But what if I say
That’s not true today?
Today I am free
To try something new,
Dance, dream and sing,
Bid worries adieu,
To try something new,
Dance, dream and sing,
Bid worries adieu,
Today there are no
Buts, ifs or maybes,
Today there is only
Yes, I’ll succeed,
So, what will I do
On this magical day?
What will I try?
What will I say?
I’ll give a grand speech
To thousands of fans,
I’ll hold a big snake
In the palm of my hand,
I’ll jump from a plane
With a 'chute on my back,
I’ll drive a fast car
On the world’s fastest track,
Maybe I’ll surf
On a mountain high wave,
Or wind through the jungle;
I’ll be oh so brave,
I’ll travel to China
and walk the Great Wall,
Maybe I’ll even
Grow seven feet tall,
I can do all these things;
no worries for me,
Don’t tell me I'll fail,
'Cause I won't,
You will see.
This is so touching, Rita. And again you are channeling your inner Dr. Seuss. You are a master at meter and a master of meaning. I know Dr. Seuss took pains to create his works, writing and rewriting and rewriting. I wonder about your process. You make it look so easy!
