Success in life does come not overnight;
An ambition and aim begin the try;
A sustained labor makes the future bright;
At times, despair could make you even cry.
Self-confidence is key to success prime;
A hasty mind can’t make foray at all;
Correct your deficiencies all the time;
In others’ court always, you keep the ball.
But emulate the good achieved by next;
The road you take is not the same always;
The problems cropping up can keep you vexed;
But you maintain that principled a base.
The grace of God dictates the things on earth;
God gave each one a purpose in the birth.
