Inspiration for Aspiration

Shall you wither and fall like a leaf

From the deep sorrow and severe grief?

Is it possible to remember what you loved about your sister?

And enjoy the warmness of her jovial nature in her absence

What can you do to ease the pain and let your love for her grow?

What can you do to ensure the legacy she left becomes an inspiration

To encourage you achieve your life’s aspiration

How can you reach a point where you’re not afraid of her photos?

How can you resolve through and become inspired by the memory of her

How is it possible to grow above the pain and be cheerful?

Can the warm memory of Donna sheds light in your dark days?

Can her smiles free the anguished mind of its terrible plight?

Can her laughters chase the grief’s dark cloud away?

This is the inspiration for your aspiration

For you Brigid to achieve your aspiration, you need inspiration

She inspired you to smile and be always jovial

Let your love for Donna inspire you to be always jovial

She gave the best in the seasons of happiness and laughter

So get the inspiration to achieve your aspiration
