The Key To Success Poem by Jim Yerman

Her quest was not an easy one...to find the meaning of success
with a host of competing answers in books..TV…the press.

She searched the whole world over…looking for that one trait to possess...
realizing most of the time…the key…is anybody's guess.

But as she grew a little older…she became a little wiser too…
and as for the secret to success…she began to gather clues…

She found most of her clues…after a person's life had ended…
In the most unlikely of places…at the funerals she's attended.

If you ask her now…she'll happily tell you the blueprint for success…
has nothing at all to do with the things…the materials we possess.

The answer for her is simple…she'll say…the key is to be kind
because success can best be measured by the smiles we leave behind..
