Have you ever climbed a mountain
and yet envied those far below
For once you reached the summit
How much higher can a person go?
A rich man who made a million dollars
Yet he stole money from all his friends
For a Million dollars to this man not enough
There was no way for him to make amends
And how much worth does it take to win?
Years I have wrote my novel and none sought
For only if they reach the market can they be bought
Success is only when someone buys my book
And I have tried no editor or agent takes a look
Can we call it failure if we do our very best
For no man is successful who forgets all the rest
