I can do it

I know no one else is interested

But I can do it

I know I haven’t done it for years

But I can do it

I know my father won’t approve of it

But I can do it

I know I forgot how to do it

But I can do it

I know my mother is no longer around to help me

But I can do it

I know I might be afraid

But I can do it

I know my siblings will be very angry with me

But I can do it

I know this might be the last thing I will do for my mother

But I can do it

I know everyone is against it

But I can do it

I know my mother will be watching me from up there and will help me

So I will do it just for her Neshama

It seems very special

So I will do it
