IF I CAN,
IF I COULD,
WELL,  I CAN 

I can give a little kid a soccer ball
or point to a bird flying high
in the sky above us and laugh. 

I can buy ice cream for the kids
or do a 1,000 piece puzzle or
jump rope on a Sunday afternoon.

I can fly a kite or ride a bike
or make a few extra batches
of pop corn or buy green grapes.

I can learn to play a flute or
drums or put together a
great collection of old records.

If I can, of course I can.
If I could, of course I could.
Then I know, of course I can.
