Greatness and Glory
Called great is the gift that makes prize boys and beauty queens, gift thought to be a Grace of God given to a special few oddly chosen though it sometimes seems but chosen, and the favor something theirs that they have.
And then we find that kind of favor pursued ardently and avidly or a favor like that favor with a little luck is also ours in our own right if we work hard enough.
And we can wear it around and show those others, we can bully the world or modestly blush beneath the medals and honors we earned for ourselves, accepting the glory with becoming grace, mistaking ours for the glory of the world. And there is a glory of the world. And it isn't ours to have.
