"It Can Be Done: Poems of Inspiration" by Joseph Morris and St. Clair Adams is a collection of motivational poetry published during the early 20th century. This anthology aims to uplift readers by compiling poems primarily focused on themes of courage, perseverance, and the belief that individual effort can lead to success. With a mix of contemporary and classic works, it serves as a source of encouragement and strength for those facing challenges in their daily lives. The opening of the book introduces the purpose and structure of this inspirational collection. It emphasizes that the poems selected are meant to resonate with the heart and spirit of the readers, using simple language that speaks directly to their experiences. The foreword explains that the anthology is designed to be a timeless companion for anyone seeking comfort and motivation during difficult times. The beginning includes a sampling of various poems, such as "Be the Best of Whatever You Are" and "The House by the Side of the Road," which outline key messages about self-acceptance, friendship, and the importance of striving to do one’s best, no matter the circumstances. This sets the tone for a collection that encourages readers to face life with resilience and optimism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
