Limitless Possibilities
When I ponder about my offspring
I think each and every one of the four
Has unlimited possibilities
Of achieving greatness and then much more
Each has their very own talents
Unique qualities that they can hone
If they don’t put limits upon themselves
Many accomplishments they will own
When they were just learning to talk
There was one four letter word I forbid them to say
I still never want to hear the word “can’t”
Escape from their lips today
Self enforced boundaries
Are the makers of common men
To set yourself apart from others
You have to have the courage to avoid them
I watch my children grow
And learn more every day
When they reach the apex of their lives
“I knew they could”, is what I will say
