Those that have come to devote themselves, <br />To that which they have commited to do to achieve... <br />Have not done so because they thought it easy. <br />And there are more who believe this than few who chose to do it. <br /> <br />Anyone wishing to be successful, <br />At anything done they do... <br />Must know a little bit about sacrifice, <br />A lot about disappointment and patience... <br />And forgiving those who say the most negative things, <br />When observing others doing something they would not do... <br />Because money is not involved to compensate their imaginations. <br /> <br />And getting 'paid' is their only objective in life. <br />But to leave good deeds to do to get done for some, <br />Becomes a necessity for the ones wanting to do their best... <br />Because that is what they expect and nothing less from themselves.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
