Anything Can Happen

“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”

― Shel Silverstein

There are so many voices

clamoring

you can’t do it

you shouldn’t do it

that is just foolishness

that won’t work

its all over

there is no hope

and so we close our minds

and our hearts

to that which can be

to hope

and wonder

to the magic of dreams made true.

Listen to the voice inside

the voice that says wild and foolish things

whispering, shouting,

love the enemy

you gain by giving

have no fear

listen to the voice which reminds you,

you can be the light

you can be the difference

you can defeat the powers of hate and fear

darkness and death

you can be the one

who releases the power of love

into a world that knows too little of love.

Do you not know, have you not heard?

Anything can happen

anything can be
