The small success is sweet and easier won,
Though larger victories make the greater noise;
They spur us on to tackle a new objective.
Ah, what a joy to reach a goal and be done!
Such progress sharpens and renews perspective!
Though our attainments be less than the Donald enjoys,
The small success is surely better than none.
Like your style in this poem.
Thanks, John, the septet is one of my favorite arrangements.
