Be careful what you wish for PDF Print E-mail

By Honey Novick
 
Be careful what you wish for
Those wishes might come true
The terror of success
Could be daunting for you

Success has responsibility
Attached to its name
Standing up, above the crowd
Means destiny, fortune and fame

The tallest poppy, like success,
Is a target ‘cause of its beauty.
Knives looming, cut it down
Life sacrificed in the line of duty.

Be careful what you wish for
You just might get it
Love, happiness, friendship and trust
Come.  Are you prepared to let it?

Be careful of expectations,
They often bring the surprise
Of courage, strength, patience, persistence,
Which blossom into your deepest allies.
