Looking Back
Looking Back
Miracle Man
2/10/2023
Hard work, I found, was my key to success,
other eyes were watching so I tried to impress.
Regardless of the pathway in life I’d chosen,
when opportunities came I was always toes in.
My list of written goals I visited each day,
and over these goals made time to pray.
I knew things wouldn’t happen just by chance,
and opportunities came for me to advance.
Not wanting to be viewed as rank and file,
Cream rises to the top and goes that extra mile.
For that would have meant I’m just mediocre,
I worked well with others, was never a provoker.
Now at eighty-four I’m still doing my thing,
I retired at fifty-six still having much zing.
Today’s thoughts are fixed on my soon afterlife,
and I’m thanking God daily for extended life.
