Ripped of its plainness by the indelible footprints of gems past,
Made rugged by the courageous feet of the brave,
A path it has become not to be trodden or plodded by the bunches of cowards;
Known only to those with a passion to tread the dusty lanes of life,
With a vision of leaving it littered with footprints of legacy;
Legacy not measured by an opulence of material possession, but by unforgettable impacts on the retentive minds of even generations unborn;
A path it is with an awful repulsion for embodiment of pessimism,
But receptive to characters of optimism,
With minds clad in courage, grit, determination and perseverance;
Adamant it has become to the stagnating law of compromise and desire for pleasure,
Narrower it becomes by the bravery, integrity, and diligence of its travelers,
Open it remains to those with a passion activated by a vision to launch themselves into the annals of time, and for themselves purchase a place in the chronicles of events,
Characterized by gems, heroes, stars, movers and shakers; it is The Path of Greatness.
