"Somebody Told Her She Could"

by Dennis Wall.  An Ode to a Post-Polio Champion, my Wife Dianne.

Inspired by Edgar Albert Guest's poem, "It Couldn't Be Done" ("he tackled the thing that couldn't be done, and he did it!").

 

Somebody told her she could

And she with conviction replied

That she could and she would.

 

There were thousands to tell her

She was different from them all,

Their lives paused by a fall.

 

Success where some did not try,

She from her birth all through her life

Stood tall after she fell.

 

Somebody told her she could

She from birth heard it often enough

That she could, and she did.

-30- The End.
