You Can

by Joseph P Martino
(Brooklyn, NY)

You can banish all our pain along with cloudy days
of rain.
You can turn around a derailed life from colliding
with a train.
You can turn one's life into a thousand sweet refrains.

You can shower us with rays of sunshine,
light and hope
when we have truly come to the end of our rope.
You can make the sun rise and set on distant
shore.

You can provide us with the self esteem and confidence that
we never had before.

You can raise us up to impossible heights, from the
lowest of depths.
You can inspire us to begin a journey of renewal of
a thousand steps.

You can turn a lonesome and mundane life into
fun. You can make the lost and despondent feel that
victory over life's trials and tribulations have been been won.

You can turn a dark cloudy day into a bright midday sun.
You can make a frisky puppy teach the "old new tricks"
You can make that same cuddly puppy warm the coldest of hearts
with a few wet and well-placed licks.

You can make a loving child turn someone's tears to
smiles, you can spread your love and miracles over
endless miles.

"You can!"
