Notes About The Poem

Fruits of Success

Success is always within reach...
       But it can't be achieved with dreams...

              alone. It won't materialize... 
      by procrastinating, by simply idling by.
                          
          To harvest the fruits of success,
            one must first plant the tree.
           
    To taste the fruits of success, one must taste...
            and shed blood, sweat, and tears. 

       Success is more likely to grace those 
 who refuse to let the sun set on their dreams

                         If its to be,
                it is up to the dreamer!
