Road to Greatness – 8/21/2009 – Susan Varo

I have come here seeking greatness

Unlike a queen or king

Crown jewels your majesty

They don’t mean a thing

And unto I don’t worship

No grandiose affairs

Just little things dear to me

Like having little cares

So I venture on this rugged quest

To greatness and afar

It’s not about just having things

But finding who we are

Since I’ve gone off the beaten path

Nothing is the same

Now that I’ve scored a higher self

Few can play the game

At times there’s no love on this journey

There’s no two way easy street

Many times there’s just only

The strangers that I meet

Sometimes the road to greatness

Has to be one’s own

Many times the road that’s taken

Can leave one all alone

Should I be what everyone wants

At my own expense

Or be on the outs with those who’re in

Or just keep my confidence

It’s hard to be fool hearty

When I want to do my best

But how would I have greatness

If I am like the rest

Should I delegate my feelings

Just to be where I want to be

What about unused emotions

That are left inside of me

So now I have the glory

There is no true greater gift

This is my true life story

To have my spirit soar and lift

So onward on the road to greatness

To be what I can be

And if I reach that place in time

It’s what greatness means to me
