How many scars distort.
How many smiles linger.
How many trophies glimmer?
How many battles will never again be fought?
How many men remember?
How many children come back in December?
How many have you forgotten.
How many wrinkles now reduce youthful beauty to nothing?
How many lost returned?
Can you count on your fingers those you have gifted?
How many to seek shade in your kindness?
Do you bother that a little child out there is suffering?
Are you among the few that would lay down a mite in offering?
How many have your arms lifted?
How many appear around your silent coffin?
Where are you headed, for glory or for burning?
Success is this,
Not uncertain riches.

The above ramblings bleed out what true success really is. Success in life should not be measured by number of cars, houses, companies a person, group or entity owns, it should be premised on number of lives touched, many suffering souls fed.
Considerations and affection shown to countries where penury is fast becoming a commonplace.
It is our passion and tradition in this Den of Love to celebrate people who take their time to share, show and give out pure, undiluted love. ACQUILA, we sincerely appreciate your input, time and dexterity put into this nice piece, Re-defining true success without excess affluence.
Keep it up!
Keep it up!
It will amount to the highest level of ingratitude if we do not state the impact you've made in these few decades you spent on planet Earth. Acquila, a Poet, Writer, Founder of "52 years after poetry competition, Co-founder of "Lyriversity" a platform for Lyricists, Poets, Aspiring writers, Runner-Up WarOfWords Slam Poetry competition (2014), organized by i2xmedia.
In a similar vein, our sincere gratitude also goes to Words Rhymes and Rhythm, an international society for Poets made possible with the professional input of her Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief - Sir. Kukogho Iruesiri Samson, who made the above piece public.
