Thankful for kindness in every handclasp,
letting me know you are happy I’m near;
Pizza in a warm preheated oven
anticipating cheese so hot you gasp;
No need for a feast as long as you’re here;
A movie and a bit of your lovin’
I’m so incoherent happy with you,
this special evening I want to savor;
As spices permeate the atmosphere
your love is a gift too good to be true
given.

Take my hand, holding on tight.
Why fear when I am there?
Through blistering summer
and blizzards of winter,
feel my handclasp, don’t loosen your grip.
Scale the heights along with me....
Don’t look back, climb on and on!

So sad when folks resent other’s successes
When so many offer them a warm handclasp,
Any person, to succeed, must learn processes
Then, success of their own is in their grasp.
All roads to success are paved with hard work
Commitment to a project and prizing the goal,
Not to other’s efforts offering belittling smirks,
But setting high standards and taking control.
Successful folks never resent another’s prize
But offer a helping hand and a pleasant smile,
For every success is wonderful in their eyes
They’ll help you succeed, going the extra mile.
