Old age is a place, we all aspire to go
How does it looks and feels?
Is it graceful and filled with serenity
With wisdom lined engraved on the face
Or a rugged landscape of regrets?
And some memories that time cannot erase?

(Song)
No one knows your name,
Ohh no one knows,
No one knows your song,
or how it goes,
Come on everyone,
Oh-oh-oh make your gift known.
No one knows gifts,
Oh no one knows,
Why you do, what you do,
Be strong it's up to you..
Jesus gifted you,
He knows just what to do,
Come on do your thing,
Oh-oh-oh make your gift known
No one knows your name
Oh no one knows
No one knows your song,
Or how it goes,
Come on everyone,
If you're down you're not done.
Jesus gifted you,
He knows just what to do,
Come on do your thing,
Do it for your King,
Come on do your thing,
Do it for your King,
Come on everyone,
Maa-a-a-ake your gift known.
I shall aspire to be just as loving and forgiving as you,
For proof you are, how it is in that we become older:
People slowly begin to present their own true colours.
A day in the life,
Thou will have a vibe.
Struggles strived by you,
Would pay off true.
Obstacles you fly;
With you head held high;
Would turn your days blue,
Surely bright view.
Inspired by what’s right,
Aspire you deep sight.
Essence that you hold,
Strengthen thought you told.
Things hurting today,
Would pave a strong way.
See your beauty,
The way you duty.
Views written in silence,
Shine you as world guidance.
Before blurry eyes
Everyday I write psalms
I could make some plans
or cause an accident
by chanting religious songs
but Jesus would challenge me
and his Disciples wouldn't butt in
Their tune is tired
Their blood drawn from their wine
what is their to aspire
As I aspire to write,
something witty or sage.
Still the same sight,
blue lines on a page.
A bright Spark arrives,
and it's the new fave.
Line's running in mind,
a Very Tough game.
Seem's I've lost time,
Arranging word play,
Only these line's,
good night my fave.
As I Aspire to Write,
Something, Witty or Sage.
Destined to elevate
I now understand my reality I create
A goddess of the earth
Gifted with mitochondrial Eve DNA from birth
Inhale
Exhale
Aspire to excel
Movements of my universe, I manipulate
Principles of Attraction, everything constantly vibrates
Studying the 7 laws
Every effect has to have a cause
I change the paradigm
The vibrations climb
Speaking my truth into existence
Stirring away from negative interference
Destined to elevate
At night I heavily contemplate
My powers have become uncanny
Bearing the boldness of my Great-Aunt Fanny
Militant and fierce like Queen Nanny
Seeking the path of fulfilling my greatness
I stand courageous
Destined to elevate
My reality I create
I gazed with envy at a bird
As it flip flops and disappeared
Into the sunny deep blue sky
I believe one day I will fly
I have no doubt that the day will come
When gravity I’ll overcome
I know some may think I’m crazy
Or may find my vision hazy
Like a hawk, I will mount up high
Till I elude the human eye
I will do it without the wind
I will do it without two wings
Then other men I will inspire
And hope to fly, they too aspire
My walking days will be my past
The sky will be my home at last.
We aspire to be perfect
Is it really worth it
Cause all we do is lower our self esteem
You've got to realise
Its okay to be unique
You might have a title
Like geek,nerd or freak
But don't let it get to you
Its better to be different
Than to be a follower
A person who wants to popular
Its better to aspire
To reach higher
Than everyone else
No matter what they
Do or say
You're perfect on your own
You're amazing
Just do you
Aspire to be a sparkling jewel,
A diamond, precious, pure,
Reflecting back the light of the world
In beautiful and dazzling ways.
A clear, pure stone reflects more light;
But gem's inclusions block the rays.
Your life cannot be brilliant, sparkling,
If dirty sin within it lurks.
Turn your back to sin and darkness,
Purge 'inclusions' all away.
Let God's heav'nly light shine through you.
Then you'll be a sparkling jewel.
I am who I aspire to be; I was born free.
Only God knows the truth it seems; He gardens dreams.
So don’t judge me too harshly friend, cracks might still mend!
See what Kind see behind my fear, still, hold me, dear.
It is true that my image fares better in scrimmage
If my friends don’t abuse me, the coach might still use me,
Some will blink at the danger when I act like stranger,
But real me is genetic, a blooming aesthetic.
I feel pain when I regress and joy when I progress
But no tour in the traces my stumble erases.
Though there’s human remaining, I’m still horse in training,
And a soldier who’s bleeding, whose death no one’s heeding.
I can hear singing critics speak, “Argument’s weak,
Aspirations as good as dead so’s your friend Fred!”(1)
But my heart tells me they’re so wrong; False logic’s song!
Aspirations are ALL you see, man’s certainty!
Though our clothes do not make the man, honesty can,
And though many may try for fame, what's in a name?
It is God’s wrath that I’d not see, don’t you agree?
His Grace frees me from feeling shame, Love without blame!

Feel a deep thought that points the way,
Ink words that come where reason rhymes;
Reach for a lot that frames each day,
Etch a new psalm in profound chimes.
Calm in sure voice that cheer within,
Abide with grace with love that sculpts;
Note a firm poise with style unseen.
Intent fills space with grasp and gulp,
Nurture fond peace with charm that styles;
See that you see how love is all,
Plant sanguine ease as cheer lives miles;
Ink stains can be a soul's sure call,
Reap wealthy spring in warm attire,
Express and bring what you aspire.

when you aspire to greater heights, praise follows naturally
changes your life in many ways sometimes it takes control
be careful don't let your head rule your heart, listen to your soul
people pleased as punch to praise , partner's pleasure perceived
Align dear heart with grace that shows,
Seek deep within for ample proof;
Peace now imparts a brilliant glow,
Intuit unseen the path of truth;
Reach for a whole that shows you how,
Explore the thrill of ecstasy.
Indulge pure soul the here and now:
Impress fond will with harmony,
Notice the way that love comes forth;
Sense beauty here that makes things bright,
Ponder each day the passage north;
Ink words of cheer that feel so right,
Reap blessings kind that follow change,
Expect to find joy in full range.

Intent fond start
Allow sure heart
Seek to know why
Passion seeds high
Indulge clear mind
Reach for deep finds
Embrace wise tact
Touch joy's fine pact
Opt to be true
Intuit bright hues
Note how times change
Sense seasons strange
Pick and choose well
Ideas cast spell
Reap in good time
Expect grand rhymes
