There are people in time of crisis <br />who do extraordinary things. <br />They do them not for gain, <br />money or fame, <br />nor for any gratification, <br />but because they want to do them. <br />They have the insight of what might happen <br />if something is not done. <br />When once it is finished <br />into obscurity, they melt away. <br />They never talk about <br />their achievement to anyone, <br />not even those closest to them, <br />but let time fade it away. <br />It is only when it is discovered in future years. <br />They receive the recognition <br />they so richly deserve. <br />These people are very humble <br />never thinking what they had done <br />was worthy of any recognition, <br />it was just something they wanted to do.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/extraordinary-things/
