Reach high and reach for the stars, stay strong and leave negativity behind. Catch your chance to shine.

Refresh my incorporeal being

thou inner man.

Take control and lend a hand.

For the sake of determination,

do not allow opportunistic liquidation.

Sift out the fraying,

and all the graying.

Take a ride on the high tide,

and don’t get mixed up with overbearing pride.

Keep your ambitions strong,

and don’t accept that which is spiritually wrong.

Seek the road less traveled.

Whether it be paved or graveled.

Build tall your defenses,

and stay clear of false pretenses.

Don’t forget about your dreams.

Nor your promising ideas and artful themes.

Your dreams make you who you are,

so shoot for the brightest star.

Take comfort in the little things.

Head for the highest point

and flap your wings.

Take the time to radiantly shine

with your chosen mixture of sweet red wine.
