GREATNESS

We can be great by helping one another;

We can be loved for very simple deeds;

Who has the grateful mention of a brother

Has really all the honor that he needs.

We can be famous for our works of kindness —

Fame is not born alone of strength or skill;

It sometimes comes from deafness and from blindness

To petty words and faults, and loving still.

We can be rich in gentle smiles and sunny:

A jeweled soul exceeds a royal crown.

The richest men sometimes have little money,

And Croesus oft's the poorest man in town.
