You Can Poem by Phil Soar

You can be lonely but surrounded by friends
You can live for tomorrow until the day ends
You can trust in your judgement but fall by the way
You can worry for nothing or live for today

You can stand by your feelings and make a mistake
You can train your emotions but then be a fake
You can put up a fight but be knocked off your feet
You can stand and be counted or make your retreat

You can wallow in pity or show self esteem
You can sit in a puddle or swim in a stream
You can dwell on your past or forget it and then
You can solve all your problems and start over again

You can save all your anger and decide to be calm
You can make yourself happy by doing no harm
You can stand on your own and be faithful to one
And leave nothing but good from your life when you’ve gone
