What Inspires Me.



Here are a few things
it would take to Inspire me,
A bright smile, a kind word-
and feel in the right place to be,
To know that I am Loved-
& someone wants the best for me,
Who cares what I am going thru
and puts me first is key,
When I'm helping other people
I get a warm feeling inside,
A better them is a better me
An Inspiration I cannot hide,
If you want to know the truth
of what really Inspires me,
Smile and introduce yourself
and I'll do the same-You'll see,
Let me know how I can help
to Inspire you to dream-,
of making the world a better place
no matter how bad it seems,
Look pass the hate & pass the hurt
and focus on all you can be,
Love yourself and never give up
and you'll see what Inspires me.
