We Can Make

I am going to make it through the day
The inner child will come out to play
Open your heart and listen
Always keep your eyes open
Try to open up your mind
The answers are there to find
The sky can be yours
Don't walk..run through those doors
We are only here for such a short time
Love, dreaming, and hoping is not a crime
You must take those risks to really live
We get back happiness when we learn to give
Keep some music in your heart
Don't forget some kind of art
The smile will stay on your face
Everything will fall into place
But you really must learn to give and take
God gives us the tools so a happy life we can make

Jamie liked this poem, and so did I. You have good descriptive wording and rhyming. It was also very easy to read and understand.
