Daring To Be Great

Aiming to be truly great,
where there is no debate.
It is a very natural instinct:
An instinct inherently innate. 

We were created uniquely special.
I have come to this given realization.
This is surely a fateful maturation.
To rightly aim at this destination.

Obstacles may come in the way.
People can give their no and disdain.
Tides will bring gifts and then go away.
Part of being great, is to stay on this train.

Hello Ronald A. Williams, I have tried to make this poem my favourite, but it did not go through. Then i tried to make you the poet to follow and that did not work. I do no why when i tried these areas it did not work out. I just wanted you to know. Bye for now. Darlene.
