Inspiration: A poem 

Many intricate gifts we do bear 

in talents that we deem to share 

Great lives are conjured up as if by magic 

But if they are selfish, they become tragic 

Genius is a score whose music is fortune 

But only lyrics of humility embellish the tune 

Gems sparkle brighter with education and opportunity 

But with charity and dignity glows the true legacy 

The lightning of inspiration is in the masterstroke 

But without great deeds it is hopelessly broke 

To burn with fire is in furthering the fight 

to always stand up for whatever is right 

Creativity is a goldmine but fortitude is the ore 

The real magnum opus is when goodness roars 

And the epitaph to the lowly toiler was in his struggles day-to-day 

How he shone his light on others in his own little way
