One Hundred Men
One hundred men aged 25
All with a glint in their eye
All wanting to be a success
So they thought they would give it a try
When they reached their 65th year
It became evidently clear
Only 5 men made it
Reached the grade
A few had jobs, and were being paid
The rest were living off the state
And asked the question why?
The five men looked back at them
And this was their reply
We had goals and inspiration
We had courage and determination
We used awareness, let our minds soar
We had faith, to get out of bed for
We never quit, and we never stopped
We never doubted, we reached the top
We had desire and did our best
We used all our skills and nothing less
And that's why we are, A GREAT SUCCESS!
