Success

Success
By Auntie B 9/19/10

A person isn't "A success"
That's not something you are
For we all have wins and losses
No one doesn't bear a scar

Success is something to achieve
A goal for which to strive
It's earned in bits and pieces
Just as long as we're alive

It's not about your money
Or your prestige or power
It's about the way you live your life
Each day and every hour

Are you honest?
Are you loyal
And persistent?
Are you kind?
Are you grateful and hard-working?
Do you make up your own mind?

If life gives you a challenge
And you accept it
With a, "Yes!"
Then you can proudly smile
Knowing you've achieved success
