Impossible

To maintain a life Above all the strife Pain and sorrow Is to choose A sight so sharp It sees through the dark And sees even in the light Things that defy human sight Things impossible Things unprecedented Things invisible The ability to look To see beyond the present circumstances To hold on to that faint candle light In the midst of the pitch black darkness of the night The will to cling to life When death is but a pinch away The strength to see the sun shine so bright Through a sandstorm in the Sahara Through the snowstorms in the north pole Through the cloudy rainstorms of the amazon The ability to see white When everyone sees black The will to see beauty Where everyone sees the ugly To see the highest mountain peaks As mole-hills about to be trampled To believe in particles Faster than light To believe men can touch The surface of the sun And walk to the ends of milky-way With the stars as our footstones The ability to hope for better things And to dream of better days In the midst of bitter months Can’t you see the impossible It’s laughing you to scorn Telling you I’M POSSIBLE….
