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…
