I Am Successful…
______________________________________
He is confident and proud
Not afraid to make mistakes
Consequences, he’s aware of them
Evident in the choices he makes
Thinks big, dreams bigger
Risk taker, goal setter
No interest in the mediocre
Always the go-getter
Never accepts no as the final answer
Only a temporary inconvenience
His strategy is well planned
He’s accomplished and distinguished
His faith is boundless
He doesn’t fear the unknown
Welcomes any challenge with a smile
Willing to walk the extra mile
As a young boy he wasn’t afraid
To be different, to discern
He is well versed, self made
Worthy of every honor he’s earned
This man is special, he is able
His stubbornness is a gift
He is a conqueror like his ancestors
So focused, never adrift
He has dealt with opposition
More frequently than he should have
Been expected to fail
But instead, he’s risen and prevailed
His forefathers have taught him well
Everyday he is existent
Is a triumph according to some
But he doesn’t merely exist
That alone is not enough
He lives with purpose
With honor
In the favor
Of his father and of his Father
He loves
He accomplishes
He exceeds
He perseveres
He flourishes
He continually meets the needs
Of those who love him
Who need him
Who support and uplift him
He is strength
He is fervor
He bares the weight of the world
On his shoulders
His resilience
Keeps him going
And going
And going
He is successful because he doesn’t fear
Those who doubt and those who judge
He is successful because he doesn’t hear
Those who doubt and those who judge
He is successful because he doesn’t keep near
Those who doubt and those who judge
He is…
