Some Will Know Greatness

Our modern world has become so advanced and sophisticated, and its technology is at our fingertips; unlikely yesterday when everything was slow-paced, now fast-food and credit cards are a convenience... and poverty is the plight of low-income! Some will know greatness, for having made unthinkable strides, and they will be honored or even immortilized; and I like to be one of them...simply remembered! The great minds of the past, like those of today, struggled to come out of obscurity, until Popes and wealthy people recognized their genius; and those names became so glorious! Each one of us is born with an amazing gift, and through vocation and inspiration, it can grow in size and scope... if it's used with good intention! Painters choose the colors of their images, writers create the words of their moods; sculptors carve out faces with a chisel, and composers imitate the feelings of the soul! Some will know greatness, and though riches may not ever be theirs... their works are the reflection of themselves, or of others who made a difference; we have seen them, admired them and applauded them with excitement! And they are as detemined as we are, fullfilling a mission beyond compare!
