Expectations to Goal

Expectations, set them. high. Start reaching for your goals before Junior high. Expectations, we all need them. Lots of motivation will help you achieve them. Study hard, read everything at hand. Don't let your guard down, professionals are in demand. Expectations, goals are one of the same. Work hard toward them, it's your claim to fame. As you climb the ladder of success, reach back, give some motivation to the rest. Youngsters all need a great deal of motivation instilled in them. They'll work hard at the rest. What? Who? we want to be, takes a great deal of hard work. Striding is surviving. Working toward your expectations, setting your goals to the limit will give you a great deal of pride. Reaching your goals, knowing how hard you've tried. You won't forget how hard it was reaching for your success. You've succeeded. Sticktoitiveness is what's needed. Your ability will do the rest. Expectations to Goal!

My Dearest Spouse

The days are so long, the nights are so strong. Dinners are very much enjoyed. We attend plays and ballets that stimulate our minds. My Dearest and I enjoy each other. Discuss topics and draw knowledge from one another. Spring and summer we vacation in the Tropics, My Dearest and I listen to music, we love all kinds. It leaves us with romantic feelings we don't dare draw the line. We love the company of each other, our conversations draw us closer with great constellation. We've known each other all of our lives but there's a lot yet in disguise. My Dearest and I are still learning each other. The concept of this poem you never really know all there is to know about each other. My Dearest Spouse.
