An Ode To Success Poem by Kamal Prashar

What is good luck and what is success?

I care not now what I say

For they wear no visible or elegant dress

But I pray you find its door and way



Never was it being the best I know

Or being an ‘else' in his shadow so deep

For it is the ego and proudness you throw

The ‘role' you play, the ‘model' you keep



Seldom has it said "I know and you don't"

For it means to be the best together

No grudges you keep and I know you won't

For it says to learn from each other



Never has it measured the fame or fortune

Never has it asked your sex or your age

It seeks just happiness like an old cartoon

You hug it tight and stand upstage



May you be blessed with success and luck

For it shines in the lives of brave

May never come a time for you to sulk

For hard you work and make it your slave
