The Best Revenge: Success Is Not Just A Word
Posted: Tuesday, June 23, 2009
by Nenita Wells
Enthusiasm exploding
Imploding controlling
Energy turning, building
Ideas brilliantly sparkling.
Stopping out of question
Roaring like a lion
Questioning velocity
Thundering on Earth.
Naysayers stunted
Success a revenge
Revengeful no longer
Life has changed.
Life changing events
Images forgotten of
Unforgiving words
Uttered unrespecting.
Imagination is limitless
Inspiration is plenty
Questions vanishing
Doubt vaporizing.
Award justified
Perseverance unlimited
Jubilation coming
Gratification done.
Mind unrelenting
Opinion relating
Thoughts materializing
Finalizing success.
Acclaim to the Maker
Praising and thanksgiving
Exalting His goodness
To Him we bow our heads.
