Lead the Way

Amongst all born on earth
Few are remembered long after death
They are those who live for others

Understanding fully we are all part of same
All beads of string called God
Universal love they share for all

Using transient body for service of all
They leave a mark in minds of all
Through words and action exemplary

Why be ordinary? Why not be extraordinary?
Remember when you selflessly serve others
You automatically get immense powers

Taking his name start today
Tomorrow is uncertain day.

How true that we remember most the lives of those "who live for others," Rama. In a perfect world, we would all be extraordinary. A lovely poem. There were many extraordinary poems in this contest. Congratulations on a well-deserved win! And thank you for supporting the contest. Hugs, Carolyn
