Courage, Key To Great Success Poem by Ferdinand L Quintos

I came upon a lovely path,
it looked to me like a new swath,
I could not see where it does end,
for, here and there, there lays a bend.

Quite far beyond I saw a light
as if a beacon shining bright,
it took from my heart every dread
so the path I began to tread.

My heart was palpitating fast
until half-way point I got past,
then I began to feel my self light
as I watched the end loom in sight.

I found my self before a gate,
my wild breath I can hardly bate,
then I heard a voice say so clear
come in and forget every fear.

I watched the gate gently open
and felt my world at last gladden,
with euphoria I was beside
for in your heart I was inside.

Now as I, to the past, look back,
thank God, courage I did not lack,
and now I could proudly profess
it is one key to great success.
