Excellence Poem by Ruta Mohapatra

Excellence

Rating: ★5.0


Man digs to find diamonds
Wades in ponds to pluck lotus
Looks through the telescope to spot constellations
Dives into the ocean to collect pearls

So polish your skills and keep quiet
Do your job well and keep quiet
Your brilliance will not stay hidden
People will come to you unbidden
