True Greatness

by C.E. Flynn

A man is as great as the dreams he dreams,

As great as the love he bears.

As great as the values he reddeems,

And the happiness he shares.

A man is as great as the thoughts he thinks,

As the worth he has attained;

As the fountain at which his spirit drinks

And the insight he has gained.

A man is as great as the truths he speaks,

As great as the help he gives,

As great as the destiny he seeks,

As great as the life he lives
