Greatness


What is greatness?
Is it love?
Is it power?

Can it be spent, or made?
What do we do with it?
What is it?

Greatness,
The power of love,
But it is not powerful, nor is it loving.

Greatness,
The money of the selfless,
But it cannot be spent.

What is greatness you ask.
Ill tell you;
Greatness is in all of us.

Greatness is the power of the will,
To beat all odds,
And deserve the love that was lost.

Greatness is no tool,
No gift,
No power.

Greatness is the essence of life that binds me to you.
