Have you ever given thought to what is true success

Is it how much money you make or in your endeavors are you the best

Are you the best at your daily  craft or at your favorite sport

Or maybe success to you was announced on the boss’s annual report

To me success has been determined not by anything such as these

Not by money in the bank or by or anything else you can actually see

No true success to me came as a surprise in a simple father and daughter talk

While we were outside taking a casual summer walk

You see I was told by my grown daughter something that made my life a true success

And I knew then I was successful and her Mom and I had done our best

She gave me the greatest compliment that I would like to share

And that was when she said “Thank you Daddy for ya’ll always being there”

Well to me success in life comes in different ways

But the greatest determination comes from what your children have to say

From My World to Yours,
