The target of everyone everywhere, <br />However they fare, <br />Something all want always, <br />Throughout their days. <br /> <br />Something that all want, <br />Something that all can't, <br />Something that sets people apart, <br />Whether they have a good or bad heart. <br /> <br />The crown of life excellence, <br />For which a person bends, <br />And toils to achieve, <br />The failure of which does him reeve. <br /> <br />All admire excellence, <br />It people to ecstasy sends, <br />And makes people respect one, <br />When one's earthly work is done. <br /> <br />Very rare is this indeed, <br />This virtue to greatness does lead, <br />And makes one remembered forever, <br />He will be forgotten never.<br /><br />Pratheek Praveen Kumar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/excellence-3/
