Most Things I Don't Understand

     Some things I understand
        Most I know I don’t

     But I’ll be alright as long as I extract
        ‘can’ from ‘can’t’ and ‘will’ from ‘won’t’

Positive mental attitude always the best. The worst will happen regardless. Love...and can when one can.

Even if you can’t, you will; and if you won’t, you still can ;)

Love it, want a poster with those words. So, what artwork do you think would best suit the words? Seriously, to me, this is poster worthy. I haven't commented for a while due to a hand injury (all is well) but I've read and enjoyed many poems, including yours. (to know that you know you do not know is the beginning of true wisdom)
