When Greatness Was Alive
A poem of inspiration
When greatness was alive, You moved us in your time, There were no boundaries for your inspiration in this life.
The air was clear and courage was the finest thing that ever swayed your mind.
When greatness was alive, Belief shone in the dark.
No trouble could make progress or have impact on your unrelenting heart to save and to repair, those unloved, forgotten everywhere.
When greatness was alone, Doubt was truly gone.
Sadness was a train out of the night A sudden blur and not for long.
The sun would find the day’s new colours Hands that reached out for each other.
Truth and freedom in those eyes warmly followed with a smile.
Waves of kindness Pain with inner hope and courage were aligned.
So for you My love cannot be through,
When greatness was alive.
