Success Poem by Gregory Huyette

Success, like gold, is sought by each,
But to many it’s out of reach.
With these unfortunates sets in
Grief, unrest and deep chagrin.

A word to all of those in search:
Take care that you don’t besmirch
Yourself or others as you strive
To keep dreams of success alive.

Define success in real terms
That your ability confirms.
Plus never be in the employ
Of a career you don’t enjoy.

Rare the ones whose actions bless
A better world from their success.
If fame and fortune is your sole aim,
A lesser world is part your blame.
