what is it makes a person great in this sad world? where there's such mediocrety it is a precious pearl
is it that they have money? that they have accrued a trillion dollar bank account? does this make a person good?
perhaps they have a famous face or well regarded name maybe they play basketball and have a winning team
is it artistic talent? was Vincent van Gogh lauded? in his painful lifetime was this man applauded?
perhaps they are as Edison and have a brilliant mind but Edison used Tessla to him he was unkind
this is what I think makes a man or woman great that they give life their ALL that they do not faint
if you sweep the street and make it clean and bright If you are an educator and bring poor children light if you are a poet on a humble poetry site it is forgiving others not having to be right! if you are a boxer and don't give up the fight
this is what is greatness it's not playing a part it is truly living
with your entire HEART.
