Bittersweet

Bittersweet, success from the start.

Success drives the mind, body and heart.

~

Success for a better life.

Life without strife.

~

Success to share.

Share with those treasured ones who care.

~

Bittersweet, success when you’ve made it to the top.

Only to find those you thought cared, stopped.

  1. Reminded me of:

    “God what a mess, on the ladder of success
    when you take a step and miss the whole first rung
    Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
    It beats pickin’ cotton and waitin’ to be forgotten

    The ones who love us best are the ones we’ll lay to rest
    And visit their graves on holidays at best
    The ones who love us least
    are the ones we’ll die to please . . .”
