This Morning I Can

"Each day I arise,
Confidence by my side 

My unseen strength,
Kicks in when I wake

To bolster my nerve,
No matter what today serves

For its strength I depend,
No matter how many condescends 

That say I can’t,
I can is my rant

I will is my belief,
Victory, no retreat

For each battle fought,
Something is taught

About ourselves and what we can do,
So no day will ever “get” you

The war is never over,
Until you’re buried under clover

So pick your battles wisely,
And your actions precisely 

To make it through each fight,
Capturing ground to see you right

For life is a long road,
Which confidence knows

And therefore is at your side,
Every morning when you arise"

This was fun for me, especially since I love music, and want to one day open a recording studio called, Shiftless Core Studios - Home of the Generations' Music.
