The Greatness In You..

I've been watching you
from a distance..
You didn't know~

Didn't know how much
I amired you..
I see things in
You..
Great things~
All those things
you can do..
All those things
you know~
Perhaps, you've not know
yourself..
the way others have..
Perhaps.. you will come.. Into the light~
Show the world
who you are..
Bring your talents
to light~
Give us the chance to see
the glory
of You~
Give us your love
and understanding..
The way only you can..
Show us the way
of you~
You say..
No one would notice..
You say..
They will not
understand..
But..
We are willing to try~
Yes!.. The world awaits you..
You know what you can do~
Perhaps its never been done before..
That's why.. You must step up
to the plate, and show the world.. The Greatness in You..

Good poem Cafe.....the world awaits, but does it expect too much? He may have already stepped up to the plate and when what was expected wasn't forthcoming, he was ignored....denied....Can we say for sure?.....Interesting......Andrew.

Ty Bill.. If you're around forever, I wanna
be here to see it. You're anything but
silly..you' re a wealth of talent and
wisdom a castle tower for so many..
cafetwo2010
Ty LadyMorgan.. Sometimes we need to pull
those talents off the back shelf and just go
for it. Our friends and enemies may see us
fail, but they can't deny that we took our
best shot. And that makes us a winner just
like you darling.

Ty rapture.. Far be it from me to make a
maiden cry..but your tears are heart shaped
dimonds from heaven..

Cafe,

This, your poem, shows your greatness by your ability to see the greatness in others and to say so.
cafetwo2010
Ty turorob. Thanks much my friend. You don't seem to
write to many poems, but when you do you knock them
out of the ballpark. Perhaps baseball was your calling.lol

Thanks Mizzy for bringing this to light. We have a chance to enjoy Cafe's heartfelt poems and be able to read his own comments to the subject. This made my morning. He was one of the best on here. Not only his poems but an extraordinary human being. I had the privilege to talk to him in his last months. This poem, is as you can see, shows how he projects his feelings to uplift others and encourage. We also have the opportunity to reread anyone's poem again. That is a gift for us all. RIP my dear poet SM

He sure was Mick! He was an amazing artist too! I wish you guys could have met him in person. He was always a jokester and would have everyone in stitches! I remember when I got the call from his roommate Fred that Sunday morning to let me know that he had passed... when I walked in Jim’s room his eyes were still half open and he had a slight smile on his face. It was as if he saw the Angels coming to take him home. He’d be so happy to know that you all are continuing to keep his memory alive... heart beating
