Success by Rachel Forster

If I was successful would you put your arms around me

And remember the ways in which I’d changed your life?

Or would my success intimidate you?

Make you less likely to change the world?

Success will not ensure that you influence hearts

Nor guarantee you feel any more loved

The surprise truth is: to love equals success

If you can accept who you are,

Whilst seeking to grow each day

And love others as their need is.

Then you have real success

You don’t need to be successful to have love

But you do need to love to be successful
