TAKE YOUR SHOT

Debbie Middaugh AKA TURBO1904 1963 (San Diego, CA.)



   IF you think you’re a loser, then you are,
If you think I got this, then you’re a rock star.

     If you think I can't do this, you won't,
If you think I will give it a try, then you don't.

     If you think it's all a waste of time,
If you think your loyal to the ties that bind.

     If you believe there is a way out'
If you think I can, then you doubt.

     If you think you can win, you’re a winner,
If you believe you can be saved then be a sinner.

     If you think you know, you truly believe,
If you think you will, everything you can achieve.

     It all starts as a single thought,
Give it a try, TAKE YOUR SHOT…….
