Greatness

Greatness Born of hearts desire A flame of inner fire Dies to quiet fear Fades and disappears Or rises like a dove To the atmosphere above Of contempt and envy Where mediocrity reigns For doth not heat rises into hovering cold And light disperse into the black of night Indeed so But greatness finds a way When guarded day by day Encased in iron will Protected from the chill Burning as a glow For they who find and know To lock away all aspirations Within the iron vessel of courage For heat contained destroys the cold within And light encompassed dispels the dark Guard therefore Every goal and every dream Let your purpose go unseen Keep it ever tucked away Til at long last come the day When all shall look And see… Greatness …Jeff Bresee
