MY DESIRE.
How I wish the sky is not my limit
But wish it my beginning
How I wish I could change the world
Bringing the world into oneness
How I wish I could rule over life
And life not rule over me
Making things happen the way I want it
And not things running me
How I wish I could see the future
Studying and planning for it
Knowing how to fully prepare for it
And not desiring the future
That will break the ties of the past
Not really anxious about the future
But planting for the raining days
When all else is lost, the future still remains
Cos this are my desire
Knowing fully the reality of life
My desire of great things
My desire of great value

The One Of The Future
The man of the future the babe of today
That's how it is and it has always been this way
When one generation is ageing one is in their prime
And the hands keep on turning of old father time
The mother of the future is crawling on the floor
To the human population numbers she will add more
Twenty years may seem a long time but time ticks on fast
And the time will come when she too will be seen as one of the past
'Tis true that the future belongs to the young
The praises of those in their twenties are so often sung
The one of the future is beginning to talk
And crawling on the floor before learning how to walk
The younger years seem for to tick quickly by
And on looking back time it does seem for to fly.

Your Dream Of Great Happiness
Your dream of great happiness for you has not come true
And a change of luck 'twould seem you are overdue
But of hopes for the future you do not despair
And through the hard times you have hung in there
Yet you feel that the good days for you are ahead
And hope for the future in you is not dead
With your darkest of times you have learned how to cope
And you look to the future with positive hope
Your dream for future happiness from you has not gone
With your battles of life you just keep keeping on
You've experienced some financial trouble of late
But 'tis said good times come to all of those who wait
This journey through life it can often be rough
But you hang in there though you find the going tough.

Industry Lost
The manufacturing industry was once so great and strong
However if you seek it now, in the UK Its Gone!
The more or less complete demise is clear as seldom things are built
Yet those in power across the years refuse to share the guilt
Today I read financially how we are the 5th largest economy
It makes me think of future careers, the apprentiships that will not be
Can it be just time honored change that means our children need to strive?
To learn a work ethic of self sufficiency in careers of a different guise
With Leisure and finance growing fast are the new roles in this sphere?
If this is true then is there not need for educational change to adhere
Things need to change I am aware and welcome mostly this
Yet somehow still I have concerns for my childrens futures bliss
Let future planning take account of future roles and life
So that never again can a complete demise of industry be a blight!
