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

True words AP, we can only do what we are able to do in our lives.

Thanks Andy. Appreciate the read and comment. 😉👍
So very true dearest A.P 🌹
Thank you doesn't seem enough for your support and encouragement Teddy. It's taken a great deal of soul searching to accept some things in my life. Sometimes I get there easily, sometimes not so easily. But I want you to know how very much you're appreciated. Friends like you don't come along every day, and I want you to know that I know that too. Friends that don't give up on you because you fall short of a dream come true. Always remember Teddy, that I believe in you. 🌹🫂
As I believe in you and I know that you will achieve what you wish more than anything, I know you will find a way to do it 🤗
That’s all that we all can really do! Reminds me of that song where the famous line goes: “but I won’t do that!”
Thank you arqios. Meatloaf sang that song. Great singer. Thanks for your encouragement arqios. 🫂👍
A poem of experience times past things done. Nicely written with a good flow and rhyme
Thanks soren. Appreciate the read and compliment. 😉👍
Giving of your best. You can do no more than that AP and it’s impossible to be a master of everything. I haven’t seen a poem from you for a while, so it was delightful to come across this one. Your last stanza says it all.
And I thank you Cassie for the read and compliment. I've been taking some time off. 😉👍
your giving your best is more than enough - because it is still much more than what some people i personally know are capable of.
all the best
Thanks for the read and comment Nafisa. 😉👍
