Greatness


Greatness, 
elusive, demanding, rewarding
Greatness inspires me

Striving, hard work, results, winning is never boring
Greatness inspires me

Our founders, our struggle for freedom, civil rights
Greatness inspires me

Overcoming slavery, suffrage and all our nations fights
Greatness inspires me

Immigrants thriving, entrepreneurs drive
Greatness inspires me

Our freedom of Faith, our respect for life, on me this will never be lost
Greatness inspires me

Losing with grace, getting knocked down and getting back up despite the cost
Greatness inspires me

Messi, Ronaldo, Kobe and Jordan
Greatness inspires me

Pain, struggles, hard work and the desire to win
Greatness inspires me

Humility, grace, love and charity
Greatness inspires me

Fortitude, chivalry, honor in this day in age is a rarity
But greatness inspires me

greatness is not a thing to worship nor a prize to boast or something to hoard

But if I do boast my boast will be in the Lord

You see
Greatness inspires me
