Success Lives On

The relay revolves each day,
each generation has its say,
courage,with wisdom decides
to step aside as its guide;
Kin  to kin,father to son,
revolution continues on,
a baton from hand to hand,
constant flows,the timer's sand;
A time o relax,sit back
other navigate the tack,
with time to enjoy,reflect,
nothing ever is perfect.

Continuity lives within
Each creative act we begin.
