Notes About The Poem

SHE BELIEVED SHE COULD,  AND SO SHE DID.

Just Go For It

You can do what you want to do,
Be what you want to be.
You can go where you want to go,
Beyond where your eyes can see.

Far away places or right here at home,
Horizons are waiting for you.
One thing remember and never forget,
To thine own self be true.

Reach out for the dream you keep in your heart.
Don't let it remain just a dream.
Don't hold yourself back afraid you will fail.
You've strength that has yet to be seen.

Just take up the reigns and forge right ahead.
Be brave and reach for the sky.
The only true failure that I've ever seen,
Was the one who just didn't try.

Thank you so much Rico. However you gotta give the man credit for the fact the country has done better financially than it has in many years under several others. God Bless, JB
