Greatness Is Expected
With your spirit, soul and body,
You groan, imagine, create.
With blood, sweat and tears
You strive only to be great;
For the lessons have been learned
That the teacher ever taught:
Increase in all your strength.
Excel in what you ought
Because less than great is not good enough,
But anything good is great.
Less than your best will never do,
But what you do must be best.
Still your good must be greater,
And still your best must be better
To exceed what is before you-
Remember, greatness is expected!
