Ladder of Success

LADDER OF SUCCESS
Free Verse


1001 steps to reach the apex
You need courage and strength 
Along the way there are trials and tests
Be careful, watch every step you make.

Ask the help and guidance of God
Courage and conviction to you He'll provide
Ask Him to hold your hands so tight
Going up is not easy, slippery and too steep

From the first step there are challenges
Overcome it with hope and faith
Never lose your courage and fortitude
Aim high till you reach the pinnacle of success.

Don't rest on your laurels they say
In your journey you're almost half way
Though the road is rough and bumpy
Finish your course with intrepidity and dignity

You are young and beautiful
The future has many good things to offer 
Concentrate in your studies
 Finish it with flying colors.

You are the pride of your parents 
The crown and glory of the church as well
A good example among the chosen 
Someday, you’ll stand before men clapping their hands.
