Ode To Success
Work starts the flow
As action tells
The finds that show
As fruit compels.
Start with ideas
That come to you
To live bold cheer
In acts that cue.
Go on to strive
With plan that works
To fashion life
In fling and jerk.
Be without fear
For joy lives here
To help you steer
What voice endears.
Yes fate decrees
Your space and time
To now set free
Reason that rhymes.
Be willing now
To voice your choice:
To act know-how
In firm, sure poise.
And if you fail
Along the way,
Learn to prevail
With faith that stays.
Failure can taunt,
Pain can defame;
Let faith now flaunt,
Defuse vain blame.
Timing is all
For success is
Beyond mere gall
In sacred bliss.
Each moment brings
A chance to make
Bold action sing
In happy stakes.
Your vision starts
What mission feeds;
Give purpose heart,
And passion seed.
Live well each day,
Discern your stuff
Along the way
To win enough.
Then by and by,
The path turns light;
You gain new highs,
Things turn out right.
Success is whole,
Right by your side;
Just live with soul,
Enjoy the ride.
