Greatness

Greatness is not always achieved

By becoming a super-hero

When there are no opportunities.

Chances to help don't find u

You have to step-up and find them

No life is mediocre

No breath is wasted

If you can't save the day

By assisting a child out of a burning building

Or flying across a bus to push away a blind person from an accident

You can always seek your chances

In helping an old lady cross the road

Or become friends with an autistic child

Or praise a buddy with low self-esteem

Or wipe away the tears of an aunt who is in emotional turmoil

Or perhaps just listen to someone

Who really needs an eager ear

Or go out of your way 

To aid that  girl

Who has approached you all broken

With hopes of guidance and direction

For you were once in her place

And although you are now in your cocooned bliss

You can step out of your comfort zone

And sense of warm security 

To do one more thing

Over and above the request she has made

Just to show you care

There is the chance to achieve your destiny

There is your chance to achieve your greatness.
