there is no limit to honest desire
but only to the bequest and the dower
it takes but little to set hearts afire
nobody does the things that we require
unless we've come at a propitious hour
there is no limit to honest desire
there are so many who we might admire
who turn out in the end to be a shower
it takes but little to set hearts afire
the ones who work who know how to perspire
will not in face of normal hardship cower
there is no limit to honest desire
choices we have though some are now most dire
but that is not enough to turn us sour
it takes but little to set hearts afire
although hard effort only serves to tire
still it's enough to bring us to full power
there is no limit to honest desire
it takes but little to set hearts afire
(C)2007, Fragano Ledgister
