In the midst of a book full of fun and silly poems, lies this message of truth.  Who are we to say what is impossible for someone else?  Or to let someone else say what is impossible for us?

“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, Where the Sidewalk Ends
