'I Can' Poem by Linda Winchell

I can love enough that you can hate me
I can live enough that now I die.
I can forgive enough that I might be forgiven
I can, I can, “say I. “

I can take enough that I’d then be giving
I can eat enough that I might hunger more.
I can knock and yet not enter in
I can, I can, and so much more.

I can fall and yet my end will stop me
I can walk and yet choose to be still.
I can cry through all of my laughter
I can, I can, I will.

I can go to God for His forgiveness
I can stay within the comfort of my sin.
I can have the joy and peace God's love brings me
I can, I can, I need just begin.
