The Desires My Heart Hold
Open up my heart
And see who and what my heart goes out to
You'll see what all I desire
And what I need to grow
My heart holds the desire to strive
to love
to reach
and to grab
I ask of you to use your eyes to x-ray
my wants to strive
from scratch in school
to being successful in the music and television industry
To use your mind to understand
that I do not want to struggle
when grown and
on my own
To use your feelings to feel
how good I want to feel in the future
once I can take care of my mom and dad
the way they took care of me
To use your imagination to imagine
how I will feel once
I can help my family
whenever they may need
To use your mouth to say to me
the words of inspiration
that I will use
to get to and beyond my destination
To add my request of your uses to my heart
and close it back up.
Now my heart is filled
with my desire and from you, the help that'll take me higher.
