Fortune Only Makes One Great! Poem by Ramesh T A

Every new year begins with bright Sunshine in everyone's life in the world;
Maintaining the same status through out the year is great feat in one's life sure;
Making a mark in creativity is a wonder of one's talent others recognize ever;
Popularity of name brings respect and honour with material richness too!

Many are trying their level best in one's field, but only the fortunate one shines;
Success or failure does not make one great, but one's capacity to maintain one's mark is great;
This is very clear in Cinema and politics, but in the writing, if one does so is really great;
They do all things behind the scene sans any popularity but only by merit stand tall!

Journalists, novelists and other free lance writers are well known in the world;
But with Poetry if one stands high, one is a great poet all remember ever;
Such a status is a rare feat one can achieve in one's life time in this world;
They are the legends all accept as really great as they live in their words ever!

One may be a great speaker but never is known as a writer in the world;
In the same way, one may be a great writer, but is not a good speaker anywhere!
