WHEN YOU CAN - by Brenda Lee Gaddy

 

WHEN  YOU  CAN by  Brenda Lee Gaddy When you can turn from life’s temptationschoosing the right from wrongWhen you can dream high expectationsand not just simply go along When you can respect the advice of othersyet make decisions for yourselfWhen you can cheer as others pass youand put disappointment on the shelf When you can smile at the impossibleand try even harder stillBy ignoring those who say “YOU CAN’T”buckle down and say “I WILL” When you can seek your goals determinedto do your best each dayAnd yet unselfishly be willingto help all others along the way When you can look up to God each morningtrusting him to see you throughThen you have attained that place in lifewhen other will look up to you
