I Can

LJH - 07/10/13
‘I can’
Close your eyes, relax
Set your mind on track
Positive, the goal
Enlighten your soul
From darkness to light
Say ‘I can’ not ‘might’
Determination
Brings liberation
Positive in mind
Happiness you’ll find

Okay. So here is the one I think is the best one myself. No hugs or kisses or things like that though being I have been married for almost 50 years now. How did you find my Succession poem anyway? Jim Horn

Thank you for your encouragement, much appreciated! I have been ready much before joining and learning a lot from what I read and by reading peoples comments too on their perspectives. I hope to learn and develop even more :-) Kind Rgds Laura

Hi Laura! I love the positive attitude which you show in these lines. Wise advice! You can change the form into 'rhyme' or 'verse'. // paul

Thank you Paul. And thank you for advising which form this is - I guess I should have realised 'rhyme' would fit, but i'm still learning - so this kind of feedback is most useful. Much appreciated, Kind Rgds, Laura
