Unexpected Guest



I wanted her.
I tried very hard to get her,
She was always in my mind,
She was always in my heart,
But she kept eluding me.




One morning I got up,
And got involved with my work,
I forgot her,
Working hard with all my heart




While I was busy working,
Someone knocked my door,

It was she! His grace bestowed.       

Success is her name.

Success does eventually come when you have tried hard. May be delayed but surely there. Great words in this poem so beautifully etched!!

loved that! SO true- things happen when we take out mind off of them, don't they?

Yes, you have yourself answered.. you stopped trying.. and it happened..and that is what really happens.. only if we learn to stop trying harder..
