The Way of Greatness

the memory will not fade

though it has been many years

the great pains were taken well

I might think it just a dream 

Then being pinched feel it not

I felt it more like a kick

one gets when one might need it

for the learnings fast and good

when the truth is driven home

and there is left no question

for pain is the partnership

that lifts one up to greatness.

and leaves no room for error
