Let Your Greatness Bloom by Hassen Gara

LET YOUR GREATNESS BLOOM 

How Dare you retain yourself so small? 
Aren’t you truly destined for anything at all? 
God made you with a specific purpose in mind 
Reveal the potential splendor that rests inside 
Live up to your highest self 
Never dwarf or underrate yourself 
You are incomparable,   unique of your kind 
Dare to credit in the power of your mind 
Like seeds you have landed to blossom and thrive 
Pull the best within in order to survive 
Let your inner passions flow into all existence 
Let love, compassion and ecstasy be your radiance 
Be a light in this world filled with darkness 
Let your inner passions inspire others to greatness 
Give yourself the freedom to bloom 
Climb to your greatness, aspire to your doom 
Time to shine out your inner light for the world to see 
Allow yourself to be that blooming flower, or a flowering tree 
Light up the world with your magnificent soul 
Live out your dream and accomplish your goal   
  
Inspired from Nelson Mandela‘s quote “LET YOUR GREATNESS BLOOM”. 

*Note from the Editor: This poem truly seems to catch Nelson Mandela's sense of being inside it. Nelson Mandela, one of the most well known freedom fighters in the world's history, struggled for democracy in South Africa. He went through a lot of troubles, including being put in jail for his beliefs, as well as facing death in the face several times. He probably believed in everything described above, that in truth many times we will put ourselves down assuming that we could be better, when in truth every one of us has the ability to "let our greatness bloom".
