HAPPY HOME PUBLIC SCHOOL
HOLIDAY HOMEWORK
CLASS VIII
Real successes are made,
Not dropped aside your door.
They aren't a thought you made one night,
While wishing upon a star.
Real successes are thought,
To be given to only the great.
They think that they work just as hard,
And they should have that fate.
Real successes are because,
Of someone making it so.
They fight for it and work real hard,
To make their successes grow.
But you know how real successes,
Are built with hard work and care.
You've made your way to the top,
I'm so proud to see you are there.
