You Know You Made It

When the sun wakes you up with a gentle kiss and the moon puts you to sleep
When the stars align just right, so you can gaze into your partner's
eyes so deep you can see yourself inside
You know you made it
When you embrace everyday like it was your first
When your to-do list is a wish list
When work is just like play
You know you made it
When you don't run away from every challenge comes your way
When there is nothing that stands in your way
Between you and the highway
When no matter how long it takes you you're always there on time
You know you made it
When you no longer perspire when you look at your account
When you don't need to look for people to inspire
When you don't look back but only higher
You know you made it
You know you made it

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
