Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

Can You

Can You...
Give more than you take
Forgive when mistakes are made
Put yourself in others place
Extend a hand of grace

Can You...
Hold on and not let go
Show that love is all you know
Plant the seed and watch it grow
Into something beautiful

Can You...
Give all that you have
Down to the very last
Stand behind the words you've said
If it cost all you have left

Can you... 
Fight for what is right
And to your own self be denied
Choose the narrow not the wide
Where all you do is in the light

Can you...
Hold tight to the truth
In all it is you do
In everything you choose
Can all of this you do
