I Found Success

I found success
he was hiding in a bottle,
waiting to be released.

He was taking a day off
in a beach at Hawaii.
He was running forty-two,
while I slept till two.

He was watching me go by
as I pass him yesterday.
He was never far from me,
I just never found him.

He was in a box of old stuff
that I never bothered.
He was whispering to me,
but I never listened.

He was in my father's words
even as he passed away.
He was lost to me for years,
and I found it within me.

I found success
he has always been there,
waiting for me to find him.
