Let your hopes be my hopes.
Let your ways be my ways.
Let your path be my path.
May I walk with you always.
Let your Light be my Light.
Let your rays be my rays.
Let your will be my will.
May I walk with you always.
Let your joys be my joys.
Let your days be my days.
Let your heart be my heart.
May I walk with you always.

Love helps us grow,
And reach the heights,
Of self-accomplishment…
And lends its sights,
On humanities betterment;
And future flights…
Of fancy.
New concepts…hopes,
Lift hearts and minds,
To the breadth of spacetime…
Reading the signs,
Of eternal reason and rhyme,
Which realigns…
Man…with God.

You never came for me,
So I came for myself.
I wandered for years in search of me,
I took on the quest begrudgingly,
Because no one else would.
On Earth, we merely cope,
And do our best, despite;
Yet, though it may seem a tired old trope,
I have learned that where there’s hope, there’s life,
And where there’s life, there’s hope.

Look to the stars, Earth Children!
Look to the stars!
The moon is beckoning.
The universe is calling.
Do not feel confined ‘tween Venus and Mars.
Wander, live, and take wing!
Out there, in the vast expanse,…
Out,…beyond Earth,
Are adventures untold,…
Endless worlds undiscovered.
For what is life and humanity worth,
When left unaccomplished?
Unpolished by experience,
And tarnished by pride.
Stunted by triviality,
While subdued by technicality;
And our home, on the Earth,
Where we try and hide,
From our future potentiality.
Look to the stars, Earth Children!
Look to the stars!
Heaven’s gates are open.
The only question is when?
When will we expand and explore the stars?
And draw, with universe to pen,
The masterpiece entitled:
“The Transcendence of Men”.

Why are those with the least vision,
Always given control of humanities’ fate?
They, who strive to build division,
With a lying smile, and call themselves “Great”?
Have we yet to learn our lesson?
Must we keep on repeating the same old mistakes?
When will we join and take action?
And end this irrational loop?… For God sakes!
It’s time for a better future.
One built on the hopes, loves, and freedoms of all men.
A vision, clear, as to never again obscure,
The human rights inherent to all men.
A world with a vision for tomorrow,
Replete with expansion and new innovation,
Where, without and within, we thrive and grow,…
Not a perfect, but at least, a free, world-nation,
Which forsakes destruction, for creation.
