It Couldn't Be Done

He was seven and learning how to ride a bike.
Somebody told him that he couldn't do it,
To just give up and get off.
But he said, "I can,"
So he hopped on that bike
And never once fell off.

She was fourteen and thinking about going into the school talent show.
Somebody told her she shouldn't do it,
She'll just embarrass herself.
But she said, "I will,"
So she stepped on to that stage
And got a standing ovation.

He was twenty-one and only a couple months away from university graduation.
Somebody told him he wouldn't do it,
He'd never finish university.
So he looked them straight in the eye,
And said,
"I did."
