SUCCESS

It's not the amount of gold that you have
nor the many acres of land that you own,
It's not the mansion that you built
that spells success in your life.


It's the little things you do each day
the kind words you have spoken,
It's helping the one who is down and out
and healing a heart that is broken.


It's doing the job the best you can,
it's the loving and giving in life.
It's keeping your eye on higher things,
and your chin up in every strife.


If you are the kind who wants to succeed
just try to help those in distress.
A life that is clean, a heart that is true,
and doing your best, that's SUCCESS.
