The road to glory is filled with many stories
That radiates from our lives
The seasons provide the impetus we need to advance
Beyond the norm, even in the face of a storm
In the end, we all become stories
We all have a limited time to highlight our prime
We all have a story that will show our skills
And fill the hearts of some
Tides change
But you can rearrange your path!
Bathe yourself in the splendour of your story
Because in the end, we become stories
So let us make our story filled with abundant glory
When we pass on, when we are gone
People will remember us through
Stories passed down from people who knew us
So let us make our story filled with abundant glory
The road to glory is filled with many stories
That radiates from our lives
The seasons provide the impetus we need to advance
Beyond the norm, even in the face of a storm
So let us look at the story of Jesus to improve our story

One way to improve yourself is to work
If you want a better life for yourself,
Start working hard, as soon as possible
Not everything will work out at first,
But there's nothing to worry about
The main thing is not to give up
Of course, successes make us richer,
But thanks to failures, we grow.
Read more to recite
Think more to write
Present more to tell story
Rest more to have energy
Teach more to understand
Give more to have network
Help more to have charity
Appreciate more to have happiness.
Fly high like an eagle,
don't be a seagull in the sea,
don't be ashamed to realese your concerns instead to keep them inside.
Let your worries to be known,
give them wings instead to cut them to be free.
Don't make a refuge to yourself, but give a refuge to others to come.
Shout as loud as you can,
don't never accept to be silenced or fly down because somebody will cut your wings.
Make your nest as high as you can, very far from robbers to rob your life.
It's not your choice if you were born an eagle or a seagull.
It's not your choice how long your wings are or how high you can fly. It's your choice how much you want to try to improve the way you want to fly.
Improving
I had a good talk with the manager
About my numbers the account and sales
You need to do this and that
Yes I shall do my best boss
Here are my suggestions
To make the account better
First there is…
Next there is this…
Followed by this…
And lastly this…
Please see that this is done boss
So the account is smooth
Without issue or trouble
What a good meeting we had
I’m so glad the boss listened
Much will improve
In reality
Loneliness is often the price you pay
When you start improving yourself
Jealousy will walk toward you
But you should not let misery stop your path
Bath yourself with perseverance
Victory belongs to you
Finishing your goals is inside of you
And believing in something bigger is a part of you
In a season
Loneliness can bring clarity
A person who belittles you is only
Trying to cut you down to their size
But have none of it
You don’t have to fit in!
In reality
Loneliness can often be
The price you pay when
You start to improve yourself

I often open the curtains to let the heat in, but there’s no sunshine today.
While sat in a chair that’s versed and infirm, blistered brown, bitter and solid as the surrounding bricks.
Was it a daydream of fortune. When a breeze, shimmered with animals within a contorted tree. Behind a typhoon of blue.
An open curtain can warm the room, until ordinary shades of disturbance advance.
Providing unspeakable gloom, I return to bed, for an extra day. When its raining, life surrounds a flower upon the windowsill. When you nothing, there only themes of nothingness.
I also can open the curtains to let people inn, forget the wasteland of silence
People are coloured peeks and cure the reflection of my grey.
This morning, there's no sunshine, a small glint of a cloudless glow. I did nothing but waste moments. Everyone seems no brighter than me, as a breakthrough smile appears upon my laughing face.

Improved
Build the car with thicker metal
Give it a bigger engine more power
Beef up the brakes and gear box
Improve the other things
You’ll get an improved model
Looking like the old one
But with state of the art
Features full of benefits
Ride drive like the winds
Nobody and nothing to stop you
A souped up Olds Mobile
Give it some on the road
Ride to meet the Devil
Learn to draw your life with excellence you are designer
with your proper device nobody models finer !
Enough with the crying.
No one's life is over if someone dies.
When you're a little injured.
Pain serves as a healer.
Grasp note of these words.
Rebuild oneself from start.
It's never too late to improve.
Savor the breathtaking scenery.
We can only run to bear up.
To what? Our lives?
So now we'll stop and look.
It's never too late to change.
I have the time, to sit, gently contemplate
the birds of the sky, the clouds that float on by.
I have the time to meander somewhere new,
escape to a small pocket of nature,
emerse myself away from modern toil.
I have the time to say a friendly 'Hi', to chat, to walk,
to cook, share stories, laugh, reminisce.
I have the time to learn, to improve, to change,
time to heal, reignite an old flame, or love anew.
I have the time.
So may I choose to use it wisely,
not pity time gone, but savour time now.
For I have the time,
to make the world a better place,
because of God's unending grace.
5.12.21
To be good at what you do
you must have the wright attitude
If you put the effort in
you will go to the wright altitude
To have the skills for you to improve
you do the training that helps you move
It’s your mates who will take you afar
to show you the gate to make you a star
Improving?
Start with manners.
Not for flatter holding banners;
just for others loving preaners.
Trying,
crying,
never lying,
are all part of the task.
Seek out counsel,
look for clues,
don't be afraid
to ask.
It's hard at times,
to admit defeat,
or at least accept
you’re wrong,
But in the end,
when things are right,
the pain
doesn't last too long.
Refinement hurts,
the road is tough,
excellence always
up hill.
Big rewards,
the winner's ring,
are for those who
have strength and will.
Always find ways to improve
Just challenge yourself
Find your inner strength
And reach for that top shelf
Never stop learning
Continue to enhance yourself and grow
Be that shining light
Lift it up and let it glow
