The Great Ones Poem by Shalom Freedman

The great ones move us in ways we cannot understand-
They bring us to feelings beyond those we knew we had-
The great ones bring out beauty in us joy in us pain in us sadness in us
Beyond we knew we had-
They make us sing and dream inside beyond any beauty we ever knew- before

The great ones move us
To be more than we ever are just by ourselves-

Is it a wonder then that we love the great ones and need the great ones and live through the great ones
And all their poems and songs and music and thoughts and stories and all they create-

Oh the great ones
How they give us more life and make us love life more-
