I asked my Mommy "Can I fly?"
She said I could do anything I try
I asked my Daddy "Can I fly?"
He told me "No, you will die."
I asked big sister "Can I fly?"
She just laughed-I don't know why
I asked myself "Can I fly?"
The answer was "Will I try?"
"Only if I can."
"Then you will."
And true to myself
I soared through the clouds

Pretty much a fun poem about pursuing your dreams no matter how impossible they seem.
