You Could. Can To Do And You Will
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Step up to the plate.
Don't you wait to hesitate.
You could.
Can to do and you will.
Decide to make that hit.
If you don't give up to quit.
You could.
To know you can and you will.
Turn your obstacles,
Into stones crushed to pebbles.
You could.
Can to do and you will.
Take your time to climb,
Up from valleys down below.
With your eyes opened wide.
Not to leave them closed.
You could with it done and you will.
Reach to heights untouched.
Knowing it was not luck,
But preserverance.
You can with it done and you will.
Succeed.
You could with it done and you will.
If you believe.
You could can done and you will,
With kept faith and preserverance!
