Behind Every Poem by Francis Duggan

Behind every great man there is a great woman as some like to say
Though some will tell you it is the other way
Though i often ask myself what is greatness about
Since some looked on as great live under the shadow of doubt
Behind every great woman a great man as some would agree
Though others would see it in ways differently
A great person in any way is not small
And some looked on as great really not great at all
A person unknown to fame in some ways can be great
The one seen as unworthy for others to celebrate
Though he or she does at least one good deed every day
On helping one in need of help they go out of their way
Behind every great person another great person in some cases happens to be true
Though some never receive the credit that they are due.
