success

why is it that some people seem to always be thriving:
while others seem to always be surviving:

even on the forest floor:
some trees grow enormous so much more:

why do some rise up to lesd:
when others just follow and barely have what they need:

what is lifes secret and key to success;
why do some have so much more or less:

the true measure of success is how we feel inside:
from a hard days work we can feel enormous wealth and pride:

when simply our best effort is given strong:
within us success seems to belong:

and though it may seem others rise and prosper great:
keep working hard do your best and its never too late:

success upon you still may shine:
even though you feel so low and way behind:

success is who and what you are deep within:
have faith and hope and trust in god and you can only win;
