Courageously do it when it couldn’t be done
I came across this inspiring poem today and wanted to share it with you:
It Couldn’t be Done
Somebody said “it couldn’t be done,”
But he with a chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn’t, but he wouldn’t be one
Who wouldn’t say so ‘til he tried.
So he buckled right in with a bit of a grin on his face.
If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled that thing that
Couldn’t be done and he did it.
Somebody scoffed. “Oh, you’ll never do that,
At least no one has ever done it.”
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he’d begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled that thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it.
There are thousands to tell you, it cannot be done.
There are thousands to prophecy failure.
There are thousands to point out to you one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But you buckle right in with a bit of a grin;
You take off your coat and go t it.
You start to sing as you tackle that thing
That “cannot be done,” and you’ll do it!

What thing will YOU tackle right now !??
