Aspire
If you aspire,
But don't tire,
My envy, jealousy, and ire
From those who dream
But do not seem
Until they act,
To be exact.
The maker, doer,
Open, more honest, truer,
Is proud of the polished or unpolished
Products that shine,
For all to witness, criticize each line.
Once done, the act, more need,
The value is in the doing and the deed,
Let your creative juices flow
Full, free as only you will know
Regroup, you cannot please every fan,
And start anew
To create and shape again.
