Wonderful things
Don't materialize
In our souls
Overnight.
Character requires
Life to happen
Before it coalesces.
Life demands living
Firsthand,
Amd we are uable to live
Anyone else' life
No matter how hard we try.
Our greatness
Will come along the way-
Ours is to live the best we can
Every day.
Before childhood lessons
Become the the sturdy pillars
Of our very lives.
O thay the day we finally tasste greatness
We will have hearts strong enough
To bear it.
