A Friday Poem

The Measure Of Success

By Julie McElhinney

Perhaps I will never be

As famous as a movie star,

But it doesn’t really matter to me

To have mansions and fancy cars.

I just want to make a difference

In this world somehow today,

Show my worth and significance

In everything I do and say.

If I can bring smiles

To the faces of the ailing,

Then my legacy will go miles

Past the realm of the failing.

For success isn’t measured

By monetary means,

It’s something to be treasured

And is so much more than it seems.
