Greatness,
a word that many fear.
Do not be afraid of greatness.
Some are born with greatness,
some achieve greatness,
and some have greatness thrust upon them.
What is greatness?
Being able to achieve one's goals?
Winning a championship game?
Greatness is found in the heart.
It is seen in the eyes,
And it's light shines from those who have it.
I have seen greatness in people,
watched them move and live.
What a sight to behold!
Greatness is what I look for,
not for myself, for what I am but a mere mortal?
But greatness to reach the fullness of myself,
to achieve a dream, to love others,
and to be the man I was born to be.
That is what I long to have,
and that is truly being great.

I too have seen greatnesses in many people that I know. I wish they could lead this country in the highest levels of our governement where greatness is a discouraged and politically incorrect stature. This was a wonderful overview of the "shine" of greatness and your "longing" to achieve. Good work.
