The unsung heroes...

Great men have been,
Great men shall be
Remembered for infinity...
Their impact lasts
Be it good or bad,
Transcending time
As it always had...

They may be born
With greatness within,
But what is it
That brings it in?
A helping hand,
Or a voice inside?
A friend , a foe,
An inspirational tide?

These unsung heroes make great men,
But never take the credit when
The time comes to recognise
That caring sparkle in their eyes...

With knowledge comes power, they say,
That stays with you in every way...
Then shouldn't it be the man behind
Who has that power, the greater mind?

There is power, a different kind...
The power to help people find
Their strength and capability,
And nurture them to make them see
Their own selves and help them shine,
To be remembered for all time...
