Listen to the MUSTN'TS

[idio_syn_crasy]

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

My thoughts

I used to read his poem all the time, I loved his poems, I still do. This is one of the poems I find really special, it's inspirational. I think people should remember what he says in this poem. But all of his poems are great.

Yes, I agree.

But I have to admit, I just recently stumbled across this poem, and I love it as well.

Haha, and I thought this was a female writer, how wrong I am if Shel Silverstein was a man!

:P

Do I know you?
