Poetry: What Is Greatness? by Richie Padula

What is Greatness?

I hear those around me striving for greatness,
But what does it mean to be great?
In order to be great, must you be good at a sport?
Do you have to stand out like the sun?
Do you need to be the next shining star?

Short answer is no.
Greatness is a term with a vague definition
Greatness is the Galaxy.
Not a single human knows all that it encoumpases.
I would like to be great at everything I do,
But greatness by my view is to do everything with pride.
The outcome doesn’t need to be astonishing to the world.

The outcome must be astonishing to you,
Once you achieve that, you will obtain real greatness.
