Can Do Poems

what music can do

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

Every Woman

She is every woman,
Bringing love to her man,
She shares erotica,
Ever so wundebar,
She is wife to all men,
Loving chick in his zen,
She can birth, she can bleed,
Cook, nurse, love indeed,
She has the ear of God,
Ere power walk over sod,
She is every woman,
Hope you wave that fan!

ADHD - We can do hard things

We can do hard things

Yes we can, we can be the better man,
or woman.
If that seat looks uncomfortable, 
bring a cushion.
We do not walk alone,
our world is not so dark
We all have our superpowers
and our individual spark, 
We shine and make our mark.
And it shouldn’t feel scary,
we need to embrace the journey. 
Jump into joy,

Premium MemberFROM CAN’T TO CAN DO

Growing up my favorite words was I can’t without ever trying
My Grandfather always assured in his wisdom words as there is no such thing as can’t unless you try and it is proven
That’s where I put to the test in seeing first hand of can’t in trying being the truth
That was a strong matter my

What a Button Can Do

Scattered buttons on the floor
A cat named Buttons dying at my door

I think of what a button can do
Oh, Buttons the Cat, how I loved you

A button gone, my shirt askew
My life depends on buttons new

What Men Can Do

Man's heart relate
Melts woman's heart
Soft for daughter.

Between sexes
Father's heart feels
Close for daughter.

Weak for women
Covers men's force
Even whole home.

Praise men's power
Whole home stands
Help whole nation.

SELF RELIANCE

Never boasted 
Always looking 
Up to thy creator 
His power
Self reliance 
Believing he can do anything humanly possible.

Never chased clout
Steady Self reliance 
Believing in hard work 
Consistence in all he does 

Some people's love
Comes with intentions 
So; he's steadily relying on self
Without pretence or defence 
No alliance 
Just self reliance 
Only God his supplier or

All I can do!

Because that is all I can do!
Influence the little spheres where I have presence!
A little space for all my voices!
Voices that speak choices,
Choices that direct violence!
Violence so benevolent,
benevolently left for your choices!

Because that is all I can do!
Speak truthfully in all ways,
Weigh what is on my mind,
and temper it with the wind.
And wind up my

Premium Membershort nails can do work

Six fancy ladies came for tea
Wearing painted six-inch-long fingernails
They could barely pick up their cups
I have no idea how they put on their stockings

They wore shiny sequin party dresses
Most had been to the beauty shop
Their hostess’s nails were short
She had been working in the kitchen all morning.

The finger foods were super delicious.
Stories and laughter prevailed.
Kids

Premium Memberthe least I can do

one month old baby dies from SIDS
two-year-old does not survive cancer.
three-year-old expires from pneumonia
four-year-old is killed in a tractor accident.
At seventy-two I wonder….
why them?
Why not me?
It makes me want to enjoy every minute that I can
in honor of the ones who did not get anywhere near 72.
It seems like the least I can do, I

We Can Do This


We’ve burned the contract, abandoned the plan
Where fear and hate reigned, trust and love will stand
A new way begins where led with the heart
And rising above to see every part

Acting from the whole, not separation
Heart beating as one with every nation
We turn our eyes to healing our brothers
Put down our old swords, bury our druthers

The

Premium MemberCan Do May

Can-Do May had a fantastic attitude
she ignored regular naysayers, thought them rude
her own family would say there is no way….
discouraging entrepreneur, Can-Do May

She was the first to find a live dinosaur
caught in a net with a rhino and a boar
amazing antics were Can-Do May's daily agenda
One-upped her family, not planning to offend-a.

Her weird family continued

Can-Do Attitude

It's a question of what you can do.
Well, I can work.
That's what I can do.
Yet, I can't be with people or be friendly.
I just don't have it within me.
That's why I'm outside.
For this, I remain on my hill, on my descent.
It's a crescent just for you and me.
Just think, it's a fact, and that's just
