You had it all within you

The excuses got in your way

The sad truth is that less intelligent minds prevailed with blind confidence

They plowed forward on arrogant confidence and succeeded

You justified your minimal path because of personal hardships

Yet, in reality they were able to overcome and you faltered

Achieving success as they intended, victorious as they set out

Proving intelligence is not the determining factor of prosperity

Your personal choice of accepting weakness envelopes all dreams

The cusp of fate standing before you with the knowledge of promise, you made a choice

Heart and determination engulfs all fear and paves the path sought before you

Pushing it back as you cry forward

Head down, eyes shut, driving into the wind

A mission worthy of more than your shortcomings

Tracts set in motion, benefiting generations deep below you

Misunderstood in the pursuit and heralded in success

Those that only know your name speak of you in reverence

A mission accomplished

A life worth lived

A great man
