Gladys Brown Prince - Success

What is success the question was asked
Not sure their faces seemed so masked
Let us do research while at our best
For without the answer we cannot rest
Until we know we have passed the test

Some days passed by since we have tried
And the answer we found did not satisfy
We searched books advanced in philosophy
Listened to tapes with good dexterity

With a simple word as this we thought
Why did we not from the start
Decide within our very hearts
What happen when you think you are smart
And try to play games without your dart

With all this in mind you tried to define
How success comes and where it declines
It sure is like magnet and draws friends
So much that you wonder where it will end
Is there clarity around the bend

Success is really a continuous journey
Some succeed by gaining money
To others good health is sweeter than honey
Do your good deeds and out live many
Be it your will make success your destiny
