Look Up


Look up, look up raise up your eyes
Don’t look down or cast those sighs
Look up, there’s a light not far ahead
And a place to rest your weary head
Don’t look down or even look back
To where your soul received its crack
Look up, look up the future is there
It’s bright and hopeful full and fair

Look up look up lift that spirit free
Don’t look down seek what you see
Look up, to the wonder that is there
Get ready to climb up dreams stair
Don’t look away or feel dismayed
Look to life for the games it’s played
Look up, look forward to your fate
Don’t wait or stay until it’s too late

Look up, look up feel your soul rise
Don’t let doubt confuse your eyes
Look up, to the future that awaits
Go and seek it challenge your fates
Don’t draw away now seize your day
Look to where you can be all you say
Look up look up you can truly fly
Look up to the heavens to your sky

Marsha


Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

Marsha so glad to read your UP beat poem.

Don’t let doubt confuse your eyes
Look up, to the future that awaits
Go and seek it challenge your fates

These lines have a true meaning for me.

Paula dear heart, my Friday spirit raiser. I only hope it helps you love, sometimes we need to lift our eyes to where the future is.
Thank you always love
Take care sister mine

inot2B love thank you truly, and I enjoyed writing it. There are times that I forget that this merry go round we call life is supposed to be fun.
Take care love as always

But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou mayst love on, through love's eternity

That's what I like about you so much...your positive outlook! All the while you were going through a painful time you kept telling yourself that you'd be fine...and even though it was so very hard it really helped you to have such a good positive nature at the seat of your soul...I really enjoyed this very much....Prinny
