A Song of Greatness

-

When I hear my elders

Telling of heroes and great deeds

So long ago,

When I hear them talking

About our great ancestors

Then I think to myself

I am one of them.

-

When I hear others

Praising the great ones,

Then I know that I too,

Will be honoured

When my time comes, I too

Will do great deeds.
