Success Is Not Always What You See
"success is not always what you see"
This the tale of the janitor
Who loved his job with a passion
Who shone at his job like a star
Never late to work on a single day
Never called in so many years
He met many fresh and young students
Who all were trying to achieve big dreams
Carrying their big school bags as they rushed to their classes
He cleaned the floors and surfaces for them
So they could learn in a clean environment
He maintained the school, with skills that ruled
His joy to see graduates, his joy to see new faces
He met lecturers with features well textured
Some too serious, some always had a smile as they passed him
The countless footsteps that he cleaned
Of tomorrow's stars
The many tears that he wiped
Of tomorrow's heroes
The trash he removed
Of cleaner minds
Always remembered
The face that saw it all
The man that kept all in order
