A Success Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A joy seems to come better,
When a delaying of it has been retained...
As one goes through emotions,
To let go slowly as a healing remains...
Obtained.

And a fame one aims to gain to maintain,
Feels better when the doing has come to finish.

A success...
Isn't better felt,
When the doing of it has been achieved.
As believed.
A success...
Seems better to get,
When close but not yet within one's reach.

A climbing to the top,
Is more satisfying than not.
And a fame one aims to gain to maintain,
Feels better when the doing has come to finish.
A success...
For those ambitious,
Does not deliver relief...
When other needs,
Aren't completed.

A joy seems to come better,
When a delaying of it has been retained...
As one goes through emotions,
To let go slowly as a healing remains...
Obtained.
