Faith in the impossible

An admirable quality, if there ever was one

Is faith in things which can’t possibly be done

The improbably, the unlikely, the hard to achieve

Can sometimes be pulled off without too much upheave,

But the truly preposterous, the incredible stuff �" well

To accomplish the impossible seems unbelievably tough.

Those mountainous obstacles, which won’t seem to shift

Like enormous stone boulders, too heavy to lift

Will not budge, give no leeway, no helping hand

Despite the ingenious workings of a well-thought-through plan.

The strongest ones will find that their muscles are weak

The wily ones success with their cunning will seek

The nervous ones will stand down without any fight

And the impulsive try their best but then they take flight.

But the quietly faithful, those with no outward force

No great grand schemes, no ploys, no resource

Armed with simple assurance and a mind-set quite humble

Yet miraculously those mountains begin to wither and crumble…
