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
I hadn't thought of this poem in years and it just popped into my head for no reason a few minutes ago :) I thought I'd share.

It's my kid's 14th birthday today. I think I'll read it to him before he retires.
