If I Can't
If I can't run
Then I will walk
If I can't walk
Then I will crawl
If I can't crawl
Then I will roll
If I can't roll
Then the world will just have to come
To me
If I can't sing
Then I will talk
If I can't talk
Then I will write
If I can't write
You will just have to listen
To my eyes
If I can't laugh
Then I will smile
If I can't smile
Then I am not trying hard enough
To laugh
If I can't fly
Then I will dream
If I can't dream
Then
And only then
Will I truly be
Lost
If I am lost
I will find my way
God
To you
Then I will run
If I can't run

Life should never be looking back at what you can not do. Hope is being able to find out what you can.
It was the month of October of 1988. I was a restaurant manager back then. My cook called in sick so I had to run the kitchen. Somehow there was an accident. 3 and 1/2 gallons of 350 degree grease went down both of my legs from my knees down. There were a couple of doctors who told me that I may never walk again. This poem and 5 Single Words come from that time period. It was faith and my family that kept me going. It is both that keep me going still.
Then I will walk
If I can't walk
Then I will crawl
If I can't crawl
Then I will roll
If I can't roll
Then the world will just have to come
To me
If I can't sing
Then I will talk
If I can't talk
Then I will write
If I can't write
You will just have to listen
To my eyes
If I can't laugh
Then I will smile
If I can't smile
Then I am not trying hard enough
To laugh
If I can't fly
Then I will dream
If I can't dream
Then
And only then
Will I truly be
Lost
If I am lost
I will find my way
God
To you
Then I will run
If I can't run
