You Can Do It!!! :D


Hey everyone, the poetry mood is still going!!! I hope you are all having a great day!!! Know that whatever you are going through, however hard, YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!



It Couldn't Be Done
Edgar Guest

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But, he with a chuckle replied
That "maybe it couldn't" but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, as he did it.

Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never do that;
At least no one we know has 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 a grin,
Without any doubting or quiddit,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.

There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you.

But just buckle right in with a bit of a grin,
Just take off your coat and go to it;
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it

The Hug Poem


I first heard this in Relief Society and I loved it. Plus, I am in a poetry mood :) Enjoy and give someone a hug today!!!



It's wondrous what a hug can do.
A hug can cheer you when you're blue.
A hug can say "I love you too."
or, "I hate to see you go."

A hug is "Welcome back again,"
and "Great to see you, where have you been?"
A hug can smooth a small child's pain,
and bring a rainbow after the rain.

A hug, there's just no doubt about it...
we scarcely could survive without it!
A hug delights and warms and charms,
it must be why God gave us arms.

Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
sweet for sisters, swell from brothers;
and chances are your favorite aunts,
love them more than potted plants.

Kittens crave them, puppies love them;
Head of States are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier,
and make travel so much merrier.

No need to fret about your store of them;
The more you give, there's more of them.

Mirror's Poem :)

Here is poem for all of you to read and remember how AMAZING YOU ARE!!!!

Did you ever go up to the fun house to play,
and look in the mirrors there?
They bend up your face, and widen your waist,
and alter the shape of your hair.

In one place you’re as huge as a hot air balloon,
in another as thin as a stick,
At first you’re as slim as a telephone pole,
and everywhere else, you are thick.

Some people are mirrors reflecting to us
an image we really are not;
If we think that those mirrors are telling the truth,
we’ve been blinded to all that we’ve got.

Some say that we’re ornery or stupid or weird,
some say that we’re stuck up or fat,
But in others you’ll view a reflection of you
that doesn’t have any of that.

Who are the best mirrors that you and I have?
Who gives a reflection that’s true?
Who sees us for all that is hidden inside?
Your Father in Heaven, that’s who.

You’ve also got teachers and parents and friends
whose reflections are true and correct;
When peers say you’re homely or haughty or dumb,
God says, “You’re my child, you’re elect.”

So get out some paper, and pick up a pen,
and write down what others may say,
Then turn the page over,
and fill it with things the Lord and the prophets convey.

On one side you’ll have all that others have said;
some are true, some are hard to conceive;
Then turn to God’s side, and ask of yourself,
Which side am I going to believe?
-John Bytheway


Remember who YOU are. Hope you are having a great day :) Keep living the dream :) But always remember to DECIDE to live a dream that is great!!! Because YOU ARE GREAT!!!
