Finally

I wandered to the window looking out
Looking back at my yester-years
Many would never recognise me now
I see me the child filled with self doubt
I see my playmates, I hear their sneers
And to the world I take a bow

I raise my champagne glass to the world below
I drink to me standing, living and loving the top
If only they could all see me here today
I have worked hard for all I have to show
Though it was hard going I NEVER stop
Now I take a sip for all the haters along the way

I open the window so I can take a whiff of the air
I smell the fragrance of success much deserved
Now I can smile with pride and be happy for it
I have paid a fare price for my carreer
Paid with everything that I am with nothing in reserved
But my dreams I would never forfeit

If I drank anything...other than tea, water and fruit juice, I would raise my glass to you kle....because it goods to know where you came from and where you hoped to go, as you ponder how far you've actually come...never forfeit dreams...that means everything....
