SUCCESS

I was deeply hurt upon hearing about Michael Jackson's death. I loved the king of pop. I am an exercise addict. I do three sessions of aerobics and three sessions of weight lifting per week. Listening to Michael Jackon's music is the best way for me to breeze through my workouts. I am truly saddened my his death, so much talent, so much success all gone in the twinkle of an eye. Truly a sad affair. I admire him for the way his took care of his children. To Michael raising his children was his greatest success. I wrote this poem to honor "THE KING OF POP"


What is success?
is it fame and fortune?
unless
you are in tuned
with yourself
true success will elude you
by itself
success won't help through
times of heartaches, for
it has no heart to understand

Success can't.......
hold your hand
hug you
give you a pat on the back
wipe away your tears
you can't take it to bed with you
and it certainly will not accompany you,
six feet under.......

So then.......I ask again
What is success?
pardon me.......If I am wrong
but I believe success to be
a ten letter word:  C-O-M-P-A-S-S-I-O-N!

In simple terms it is.......
donating to a worthy cause
taking care of your prized possessions , your children
extending a hand to the needy

So you see.......
holding dear and near to the
things that brings comfort and cheer
 and you will have arrived at the doorsteps
of true   S-U-C-C-E-S-S

Michael you did all of the above!
REST IN PEACE "KING OF POP"
