Some Things

 

There are things I can do

And things that I can’t

Things that I might

And some that I shan\'t

 

From left field to home plate

I could throw I mean baseball

I’ve read a few books

But I doubt I’ll read them all

 

Been behind many a steering wheel

Driven a million miles

Cried my share of tears

Worn a trillion smiles

 

In my life

I’ve done many things

I’ll do many more

Just don’t ask me to sing

 

I’ve been known by some

To push a wordy pen

About first love and my

Virgin heart of ten

 

But life really sucks

When I run into a brick wall

Knowledge of the task

I’m at a loss and just fall

 

Different people

Can do many things

I do what I can

Sometimes, even apologizing

 

Some of the best

Encouragement they give

Still others with help

The dream they can live

 

I’ll just be content

With what I know how to do

Giving my best thanks

That’s all I can do
