Success Poem by Hannington Mumo

Success comes not to the gallant fighters alone
But also to men who suppress their temerity;
No one has ever had the patent to prosperity,
It's for them that endeavor and try,
That bite their lip and fight on
Though may many times let a cry!

Success is for all that desire the victor's crown
And settle for toils of sweat and those of blood;
It's for men who realize that it's a thing they can own;
An open possession whose worth they can claim
With work and an undying aim,
And pray to be on them the favors of the sky!
