Retire

Do you want to acquire your desires before you retire?
                                                                        Do not neglect what you admire
Always re-fire your entire desire
                                          To inspire you as you aspire higher
Remember to inquire from those that have acquired 
                                                                     their desire before it expired
By that you can perspire great desire 
                                                 and not overlook your attire
You will not misfire in all that may transpire 
                                                          in achieving your entire desire
Never conspire against those that have acquired their desires
                                                         Before they retire with empire of sapphire 
If you do that, it may backfire.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Emile, thank you. Umpire attire does not need to look like a sequoia but good work like a thuraya... oxox
