Success

by Amber N. Nix

I want to be like the wildflower,
The freest in all of the field,
Yet..Oh, to be like the rose,
Most graceful indeed in her yield.

I want to be like the queen,
Grasping the honor of royalty,
Yet I want to be like the servant,
To fathom the depth of humility.

I want to be the young girl,
To frolic in life at its best,
Yet I want to be the known lady
Of dignity, peace, and respect.

I want to be the bright painting,
A great work of art all take in,
Yet I want to be a novel, mystery,
Something new to discover again.

I want to be clay submitted
That spins in the Potter's soft hands,
Yet..Oh, to be the strong Oak tree
That firmly for ground will stand.

I want to be all success
And realize great dreams of my heart,
Yet I want to be what You bless
And what you will make me, each part.

"Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;
meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.
Then you will be prosperous and successful.
Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be terrified;
do not be discouraged,
for the Lord your God
will be with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:8-9
