Success

They say
"Shoot for the stars"
No reason 
to limit yourself 
"You can be anything you want to be"
The world is yours to make your home
The people you love to be your friends
The places you see to be vacation
Success comes with hard work 
And the payoff can take its time
But just like the stars 
You too will shine
Success has no limit
No finish line 
It can not be weighed by ounces
Or counted in banks
Success is everything that you work for 
It shows in every smile, in every friend, in every moment you embrace
Success will not run from anybody nor hide
It is yours to find and build and keep alive 
So don't wait or hold back
"Shoot for the stars"
