I Know You Can

I'm reminded of that children's book;
"The Little Engine That Could."
Whenever you want to do something;
Because you want to, not that you should.

I feel that anyone can do anything;
If they want it bad enough.
They'll keep on trying no matter what;
Even when the going gets tough.

Just concentrate on what you want;
Don't let anyone get in your way.
Keep your mind on what it is;
Don't let anything allow it to stray.

Remember that little engine's voice;
"I think I can, I think I can."
And remember too, that everyone;
Had to walk, before they ran.

Find that inner strength you have;
And let it take control.
"I know you can, I know you can."
Reach your dream or your goal.
