When Opportunity Knocks

Traveling the road to tomorrow
Has taken me many a day.
When I have been lost and in need of direction,
Wisdom has helped me to find my way.

I have not walked in the shoes of another.
The footprints made have been my own.
Many have helped me with the steps I have taken.
I could not have fulfilled my destiny alone.

I have striven to achieve the impossible,
Although it could not be done.
I have never just been happy to be;
I have always striven to be number one.

My life has been brimmed with success.
Others have wondered why.
I started out in life like most of the them,
Just your average ordinary guy.
