The taste of success
Is indeed sweet
It takes years of efforts
To embrace the victorious treat.
Who does not want to wear
The glorious success crown?
To get the shine
From the glitters of glory,
In the muck of offence
A person has to drown.
The journey of success
Not so easy for all
You need to walk through
The dark tunnel
To see the darting light
Later, on you which will fall.
Failures and low spirits
You need to defeat
The thorny path
The storms on your way
You have to meet.
Fear and negative thoughts
Once you beat
It is then the success
Will eventually kiss your feet.
