Making America great again must begin
with some agreement that this was once so,
That greatness isn't labeled as a how-to,
to whom, by whom and when ... blow by blow,
If greatness is a goal, then shouldn't it begin
with you and me supporting each other as we grow,
Greatness can be found quite simply by accepting
your cause doesn't have to be my cause, you know,
Greatness can be experienced when we agree
That we can be different and be unashamed, Joe,
Making greatness doesn't require a secret recipe ...
Americans of every stripe know it takes two to tango,
So, I will start and put my cause on pause
If you will willingly do so ... yes every joe blow.
Then, I would mix in some common sense,
Shakespeare once wrote:
Give every man thy ear but few thy voice,'
'to thine own self be true,'
and 'The apparel oft proclaims the man' fill the speech.
The last piece of advice in his speech was this
'Neither a borrower nor a lender be'.
In my quest to apply greatness as a goal
I would make it known near and far
it's not about your or my bio!
Greatness comes from a handshake and hand up
A smile of knowingness from our hearts screaming tally-ho!
Greatness, isn't lost, isn't some thing or some scheme
greatness is you and me and he and she and they and them
putting our best Faith into each other and doing good
encouraging one another to get up and go!
