Average Wasn’t Good Enough

Average Wasn’t Good Enough
Miracle Man
4/27/2024

If life were simple everyone would excel.
Before I could make others believe in me,
I had to exhibit a belief in myself,
and God given ability.

I realized to be good at something
would require putting in the work, 
while being persistent.
Just average wouldn’t get the job done,
because cream always rises to the top.

I always endeavored to do more 
than I thought was expected of me.
A few people will grow the Roses, 
while multitudes will just smell them.

Give me the man/woman with burning desire,
and you can have the most talented one.
Tom
