LESSON

They say "you'll never make it"
And they thought that they were right.
But I kept on plodding onward
Because I hoped "I might."
They shook their heads in wonder
That I lacked the sense to quit
But I held my chin up higher
And didn't mind a bit.

They said "you'll never make it."
As the problems multipled
But I had to make an effort
And know at least I tried.
So I dug my heels in deeper
Though sometimes my Spirt lagged
And I shouldered what was lightest
And the rest I sort of dragged.

I found to my amazement
At the ending of the day
That what they said "I Couldn't"
I had managed anyway.

It only took three little words
"Lord help me" and I rid
Myself of doubt, and all they said
"I'd never do, I DID."
