Whispers of Greatness
Great people have one desirable quality~~
humility.
You won't find them looking
to be 'top dog'.
They are already accomplished,
and fully know just that.
They do not run panting feverishly to be
ahead of the pack.
Somehow the winds of the seas,
are the sails at their backs!
I've noticed how they move through
life so effortlessly!
Whether it was Buckminster Fuller or the
leader of the Tibet.
Or the late John Denver, or the great,
famed, late Brazilian, guitarist, Bola Sete!
When I met them, all had that one ineffable
quality.....humility.
Plus a love for all humanity emblazoned on
their hearts.
It's the insignificant, boastful others!
Jabbering or writing endlessly just
to gain a stand on life's soapbox.
And the worst, those who demand
my adulation.
How ridiculous these mice look
next to men of accomplishment!
May I always measure any of
my minuscule successes, to men
or women free of false pride.
As one of my highly accomplished
comedian friends, surprisingly said
to me:
"None of my success is my doing!
It's all due to the man upstairs!"
