What Is Great

With an elevated nature beyond many . . . Seeking to rise from those around. The ascension will bridge a vast chasm, Where all may share common ground. This effort won't settle to be solitary, But combines with others & what they bring. So that synergies become the honored harvest, With yields to surpass the offspring. Here wisdom must avoid a lone level, Preventing its wealth to be spread in need. It must be granted to those with far lesser, With opportunity that they may succeed. This is the often neglected, but true value of greatness, Not what one gathers to simply accumulate. Rather, it is the benefit to allow others to be Better, lifting them, so they too, may be great.
