Yes, Yes, You Can

William Beausay II

From the Book "Boys"

Frogs, vultures. beetles and rocks,
All kinds of people in all kinds of flocks:
They all share some things together,
A hope, a dream. a reason, a scheme.

In your life you'll know them all.
Hitch your dreams to a star; follow them big or small;
But remember we're united by a painful blow
That comes when thw world hisses its heartless NO!

When you admit your dreams so large,
People will say you're a dunce and a fool by far;
They're hopeless and jealous, beating you is their plan.
Stand defiant and cocksure and thunder "I CAN!"

"No Way" your friends say, they'll cackle and spit,
The hopes in your heart they carelessly miss.
But feed those dreams, keep them healthy and large,
Ignore the naysayers and yell simply, "CHARGE!"

Those needling, lifeless skeptics abound,
Circling like buzzards, your schemes to tear down;
But fan the fire that you feel inside.
Take wings of eagles and proclaim, "STEP ASIDE!"

Life has enemies that will test your mettle,
Make you strong, though you'll feel no better;
Nothing will be easy or delivered on a plate.
If you don't do yourself, you always just wait.

My prayers for you sound like, "Father, ignite them!
Though the odds are steep, let Your presence excite them."
A special reply will embolden your wit;
Remember in tired moments, it don't pay to quit!

May the music of victory sound sweet in your ear.
Run quickly! Hustle swiftly! Now the goal is near!
What will distinguish your magic is how much you care,
Not muscle, not brawn, only what you dare.

Though the cynics' arrows may find their mark,
Pierce your resolve and nreak your heart;
When you lay bleeding along life's road,
Then you must remember what you've hereby been told.

Never with more love did a person God make,
Than you, your strengths and weaknesses consummate;
He'll be there when you're broken, shaken, and tattered,
Directing you to think on those things that matter.

Through bitter tears you'll wonder if you can.
But ignore your fears and make a dazzling plan.
From your dreams naysayers shall ever be banned,
And hear me gently whisper in your ear.
"Yes, Yes, you can!"

Thanks for reading,

Phillip
