Who or What Inspires?

Who or what inspires?

Is it those who rule and reign?

Those who climb mountains

Or perform surgery on the brain?

X

Who or what inspires?

Makes you want to reach out for more?

Is it those who live in splendour

With money and riches galore?

X

Who or what inspires?

Makes you shout out with glee?

Is it those who are transformed

With plastic surgery?

X

Who or what inspires?

Makes you smile from ear to ear?

Is it those operatic stars

Their voices loud and clear?

X

Who or what inspires?

I know my answer true!

Is a person who is honest

A good heart through and through.

Who or what inspires?

Heartfelt and true

Over and beyond

X

Oh strength from within

Riches strong and true

X

Wandering through falseness

Halting those words untrue

Avalanche of wisdom

Transpires to change our world

X

I see the world in naked form

Never ending lessons of love

Spiritual paths to follow

Inclinations from bad to good

Perils are lessons in waiting

Inductions to a world so true

Reaching gripping ideals

Everlasting courageous and clear

Souls vibrant and true.
