The Key To Success

The key to success is not silver or gold
It’s not made of copper or steel,
But a longing, a sigh, and a yearning to try,
A yearning for learning, a burning to try
To climb to the goal where a soul dwells to bless.
That, you can see, is the key to success.
The key to success no man ever gave,
No man ever purchased for gold,
For it springs from the things that a perfect life brings,
A willing for stilling the baser thoughts filling,
To merit our place with the grace we posses,
And it’s free as the sea, is the key to success.
