Achieving the Impossible

Nothing is impossible
When you put to it your mind
Miraculous results are truly plausible
Throughout history you will find
Numerous stories of this kind

But wanting it is not enough
Hard work and perseverance you will need
The going is apt to get tough
When chasing the impossibility
And you must believe that you’ll succeed

Failure can’t be feared
On the path of impossible tasks
Obstacles must be cleared
Mistakes you must outlast
Before in glory you can bask
