Great Heart

It takes a man with fiery guts To stand the heat of the spiteful lots Of little greats still untamed And future stars still unnamed. The sweat never ceased to fall And the stress really took a toll But success came out after all Making the stress worthy of all. Though no thanks be said or showed And no hats be tipped or bowed Always remember you are beloved By those hearts you ploughed and sowed.
