True Success

True Success

A Poem by Anne Timmins

It is not
to where we've been -
it's to where we are going
not lost in
this endless spin,
but, one direction, growing

Now, take the truth,
like vitamins -
and be content in knowing
Love gives you your
best chance to win -
your best, you best be showing

Spend time with
life worth living -
try to make real progress
spend less time
doing sin now -
later, less to confess

I hope you've heard
these thoughts I've said -
with words, hope I impress
pray Heaven's Gate
opens for you -
your life is a success

"It is not
to where we've been -
it's to where we are going"
As long as we keep on moving forward, we would eventually get to the place we've always dreamed of, the true success.

Your rhyme scheme is flawless. I'm a bit jealous. Haha. Very nice work. (:

I like the gentle tone and wisdom in the poem. Last lines should be the dreams of the all of us. Finding peace and calm at the ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
