On Step Away From Excellence Poem by Richard Noggin

On Step Away From Excellence



I long to excel
And to be the best
I long to be in a race
And finish before the rest
My heart full of compassion
For what I do not know
A desire on fire
And motives as pure as snow
If only I could
Find what I am good at.
