Success

Is in the Eye of the Beholder

Success comes in many forms but mostly involves money

Working hard to get the wage to holiday somewhere sunny

To pay for things outright with money that's hard earned

Working day to day to make bills a small concern...

He's great at what he does and he's respected in the business

His four bed house and flashy car say he's not a man to be messed with

You don't get where he is by making lots of friends

The relationship with the woman he loved had to come to an end

She kept wanting to be with him and take up all his time

He couldn't have that he had work to do he had to draw the line

So instead of enjoying the company of the woman that he once loved

He spends his evenings sitting alone drinking bourbon and reading books

The lady who answers the phone for him is a single mother of three

Her children all of school age are clothed and fed and happy

It's taken her years to get a job and this one she's quite good at

Although her children will always come first she will work hard to keep it

For her it's about the little things she doesn't need the expensive stuff

To be able to provide for her children really is enough

To know that they are happy and have everything that's needed

For her she's accomplished her goals as a mother she's succeeded

Whatever in life you choose to do which ever role you play, you should think about the choices you make each and every day, you could end up with a family but struggle to build a home, or you could have all that you desire but still end up alone, life is not a game you play you can not win or lose your fate is your own hands your destiny's your own to choose
