A Good Read

I read of great men of old
I read of great triumphs they told
From whence they nursed their deeds
Through toil secured their needs

Then I think of all my dreams
The battles I have to fight it seems
For great triumphs stand for all to see
And someday people will read of me

Stimulating to the spirit. Simple but powerful lines like "......great triumphs stand for all to see..." or"....toil secured their needs..." represent strength of poem's message. Skilled use of language. Thank you Wilfred.-----RAJAT
