The Great Ones eventually discover that they are not <br />At death's door the calculus of their lives change <br />My bleoved Uncle beyond blood taught me this <br />In history I read of others <br />For myself in quiet and gracious moments realize only love <br />Can truly play the triumphant center <br />No matter how many once cheered in the Platz.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-great-ones-2/
