HEY YOU. HOW ABOUT HELPING ME FINISH THIS HALF WAY COMPLETED POEM

Below is one of my many unfinished works of verse. If you can come up with some other examples of what greatness to you is. Please just post them in the comment sections below.
Perhaps collectively you might just gain Partial Copyrights in a future published work you can tell your grandkids or for that matter, everyone else about..

Yep a real live legacy of sorts for bragging rights. Perhaps a historical romantic moment in time?. a movie or a song we all remember? a speech?, an historical day?
perhaps a teacher that changed your life, your wedding day, the birth of your . It doesn't have to be famous, it can be a simple time you will always remember and not mentioned in your limited profile on here.

All it takes is perhaps ten minutes to create two lines that both rhyme at the very end. Come on now, your cleaver and creative and here's your chance to
surprise yourself and delight others like you.
So please join me. the subject lines being. what greatness is to you!

An example might be:

Greatness was hearing my first newborns very first cries
My Pains changed to exuberance bringing me teary eyes.

What comes to my mind is bringing a sailboat about in a storm.........Kyaking through rapids and whirlpools, climbing steep rock walls, getting a dozen 3-year olds to sleep at the same time..LOL.......There are many feats of greatness performed every day by many people......Greatness includes great mercy and great generosity......great patience, great exhuberance, great cheese......Always there is GRATE CHEESE........

Greatness is in the warmth of hearts
The warmth you have,
and the warmth someone else imparts

    Quoting jiminycricket1:
    Greatness is in the warmth of hearts
    The warmth you have,
    and the warmth someone else imparts
Jimmy i gather that by Heartfelt Warmth you mean heartfelt joy and happiness. Gratitude, fully embraced acceptance that can't possibly be any better!

So many different meanings delivered in your three line stanza. thus we have

Muhammad Ali during his most productive years
Or Lou Gherigs Farewell speech of a millon tears

The British rock Invasion from across the sea
Steve Jobs visions in creating new technologies

Greatness is in the warmth of our hearts
The warmth we have
and the warmth someone else imparts

Manning the tiller in an angry sea
Getting a dozen kids , just to mind me

Giving and forgiving in such unselfish ways
Making life SO DAM GREAT THESE DAYS!!!!

Thats so beautiful I have read it six times and feel compelled to do six more.

Your traits and views of life so genuine, basic and down to earth.

I have written many poems on the things you listed above. Meaningful , genuine and examples of how to find memories to honor and cherish..

I hope you read this post from two days ago to see this comment.

one i have i mind describes you to a tee!!

Dominance. is the "fake news" of the Great
"America First" is better NEVER than late
Trump, tells US.... of greatness...so smugly
but, if you look in the mirror.. it's ALL "Fugly"
(thank you sewg)
