Aspire to Acquire



 
TITLE: Aspire to Acquire


Life is a blend of laughter and tears,
and victory is built on every man,
there’s no rose without a thorn,
It is rather through hardship to star.
Stars always shine with light despite their distance;
great accomplishment is a function of great courage,
the size of a man’s dream determines who he shall be.
The root of education is bitter; the fruit is sweeter,
faith takes up the cross; Love binds it to the soul; patience bears it till the end.
If you aspire to acquire a desire you admire, and
as you fire on;it backfires.
Do not retire but re-fire to acquire the desire you admire;when this is done, inspire so  not to expire.

About this poem
