I can do it by Paulin Zihindula Muchiza.
If i know the thing i'm doing, i can do it.
If I trust my self i can do it.
i'm not, Afraid of any thing that I'm doing, because I know God is with me.
Any thing that I'm doing in my life
I put God first because I love him.
Every body can do any thing they want and we can help one another to
Ashive our dreams.
May we be blessed to understand….
especially on days we’re feeling blue…
exactly what a simple hug and kiss can do.
They help us connect to others
They’re like an umbrella in the rain…
They help reduce our stress
as well as eat our pain.
They remind us someone love us
They can help to ease our fears…
They let us know we’re not alone…
They can wipe away our tears.
I wonder in this time of upheaval
with people at each other’s throats
and countries waging war….
If this hatred for one one another would cease
If we hugged and kissed a little more.
candy testing Dracula wanted no help at all
He is so busy I barely see him this fall
The complaint was from his wife, a Zombie tall
You can do better we told her, but it was like talking to a wall
Inspired by a lovely lady who's spending one day at a time.
One day at a time is what we have
(All you can do is love and hope)

She wanted to live
Even though she didn't fear dying
She was worried that without her
The stars in the sky would stop shining
For her family and friends
For her husband, her sweet
Life would be less lovely
Happy memories incomplete
For some people, we're irreplaceable
We're the compass for their world
Without us, they stop spinning
Life is upside down, in a whirl
And the ferryman, he'll come
Even if we pay for him to stall
We're unable to save our loved ones
They have to survive their own falls
One day at a time is what we have
One day at a time is all we can do
Someday may never come for us
Someday may be a wish come true
For when it's your time counting down
When the sands are almost run out
All you can do is love and hope
For your loved ones to never doubt

A pretty sunset, outside afar
Waiting to make room for a star
Simple but completely ignored
People making up games, some bored
Waiting for the end of the day
So, they can relax in their homes' shade
Everyone comes from a different place
Moving in their own pace
Having big and small goals
And all with different roles
Most trapped in their bubbles
Not a desire to venture out, face troubles
Peacefully looking at the birds fly away
All I can do and all I can say
Is the sky is starting to fill with grey
I hope I continue having a good day
Now here is someone who takes charge.

Connection.
Dots scattered—
Unclear,
What will they become?
Pen in hand, unerasable.
The next stroke—
unknown.
The future—
a blank canvas.
One chance to fill it.
No rewinds.
Brush and color in hand.
Beauty or ugly.
Satisfied or not.
Every line and stroke
Your decision.
Right or wrong,
Good or bad.
People will only see the end.
So make it for yourself.
With no regret.
Make it worth it.
He’s torn apart by demons.
These spooks are of his own making.
Struggles in the middle of an ocean.
He’s drowning in plain sight.
I don’t have the tools to help him.
I simply can’t get through to him.
We’re all helpless to assist.

You can do it - I believe in you!
To your values and dreams, please stay true.
Work hard, earn it, do all things right.
A clear conscience helps you sleep at night.
You can do it - you have the right stuff;
Notably when the going gets rough.
Fight the good fight, and never give in.
In the long run and life, you will win.
(Ode to innocent and Charming Youth)
They dance beyond the neon glare,
With headphones on and braided hair.
They quote their queen in every song-
Ah,these Swifties can do no wrong!
They turn heartbreak into melody,
And pain into pure poetry.
Where the cynics live,they still belong,
The faithful ones who sing along.
They trade their fears for lyric lines,
In glitter,truth,and valentines.
They dream of worlds where love is strong-
Yes, these Swifties can do no wrong
When elders frown and pundits sigh,
They lift their banners to the sky:
'' Its cool to feel,to care,to long-
To cry,forgive,and still stay strong''.
And if tomorrow turn to storm,
They'll write again,they'll still perform.
Hope is their stage,their lifelong song-
Bless the Swifties-they can do no wrong
Life is a precious love forever,
One day we'll go and it's over.
Letting guilt hounds everyday so,
Regret not doing the best in you.
Love the least I do than hate,
The best defense than waste.
Care to welcome the sun rise,
The day start with smile is wise.
Care the world is burdensome,
Looking ahead is ambition sham.
Unwise to show less interest,
For soul a guilty feeling to a feast.
Life is a cycle of various frames,
Full of drudgery and broken dreams.
Sorting, figuring comes out show,
Doing the best things that I can do.
Here comes the wind that bend,
Procedures of life comes to an end.
In final step mortals comes immortality,
Gift from heaven's comes for you and me.
I am sitting here thinking
Can You do this?
Can You do that?
And suddenly I realize
God can do all things
What do you want Him to do
- change your situation
- turn things around?
Yes He can do that
Does He want to do that?
That’s a million dollar question
Time will tell
But what we can do
is PRAY
Pray that He will turn things around
for our own good
Because we serve Him
And we need things to be good
So we can do good
Are we in it for ourselves?
We should know
We should take care of that little heart of ours
Make sure it’s pure
And free of interior motives
And God will do the rest
Nuff said
I can do something with that I say
dragging a broken wagon out of the ditch
my husband is horrified
there are ants and crawly things all over it
the wagon is grateful; I can feel her relief
she used to be well-loved, clean, fresh
It will only take a little bit to liven her up, I say
I hear her sigh with gratitude
Hey, wait! There is a teddy bear down there
I climb back into the ditch, probably standing on poisoned ivy
I will figure that out later
This bear does not deserve to be discarded like this.
You aren’t bringing that filthy thing into the house!
This is my husband’s girly voice, and it annoys me.
Not while he is awake, I’m not.
Can do
Attitudes,
You too.
What music can do
Last night, all night, I listened to music
and my heart cried not in sorrow but
It flew away and soared in the beauty
of the human voice
No. I was not there in person, but that
Didn't matter; it was about the beauty
of us, yes, we are a great race, so
Why the hatred that is on those
who hate to hear our jubilant voice
I'm a poet dreaming that I once could
Write a poem bringing humanity into
a circle of love
