Success Of The Soul

Success Of The Soul

© by Bud Lemire on Sept 22, 2014

We live upon this world with two journeys to take

We must choose the one that we wish to make

One is the journey of the physical, one is of the soul

One will bring success, one will make us whole

As I traveled down life's road, I truly must confess

I felt like I had failed, because I never had success

In a man made world, success is a great key

I had never striven for it, I just kept being me

I let the universe guide me, with every turn I took

It became my life's adventure, like pages from a book

My idea of a good life was to just let it flow

Take life easy, that's all I would ever know

I never wanted more money than I would ever need

I followed along life's road to see where it would lead

I found pleasure in the little things each day

My perception of life was in a different way

I saw the beauty all across the land

My reward was to give people a helping hand

I'd look around and with my camera capture everything

That beauty that surrounds and colors it would bring

I followed wherever I was lead

Words and ideas forming in my head

I always took note on whatever I would see

My life's journey would turn up in my poetry

There is an inner part of you that we call the soul

When you follow it, it will make you whole

Listen to it, feel the calm it brings

Let it lift you higher, use your Heavenly wings

Look deep inside, then you too will know

Success isn't money, when it's success of the soul

 

Although we need a certain amount of money in this

world to survive, we don't need to strive on it.

Pure and Simple, love is what we need. Love of

our self and others. Completeness in our being who

we are being. Honoring our soul for all it can be.

Listening to the universe as it guides us to where we

truly should be. In your soul, it will feel like the right place.
