You Will Be All You Can Be

In the dawn's soft light, if fortune finds you,

Awake, and see beyond the silver's hue,

Success is not in gold, nor milestones grand,

But in the heart that beats, in a gentle hand.

 

For in the fall and failure, there's a grace,

A lesson learned, a growth in every space,

Success is in the journey, step by step,

In how you rise from where you once had wept.

 

When night descends and stars light up the sky,

Measure success by how your spirits fly,

By how your heart swells full as you retire,

By dreams that flicker with a warm, soft fire.

 

Seek riches, yes, for they can change your fate,

But wealth in spirit, oh, do cultivate,

In laughter shared upon a sandy shore,

In meals enjoyed, and friends you so adore.

 

In hope that blossoms with the morning sun,

In gratitude when every day is done,

In knowledge gained, in kindness freely sown,

In these, true riches flourish and have grown.

 

So may you find abundance in your days,

In countless forms, in myriad of ways,

For wealth is more than what the eyes can see,

It's in the love and joy that sets you free.
