Extraordinary Things Poem by David Harris

Extraordinary Things

Rating: 5.0


There are people in time of crisis
who do extraordinary things.
They do them not for gain,
money or fame,
nor for any gratification,
but because they want to do them.
They have the insight of what might happen
if something is not done.
When once it is finished
into obscurity, they melt away.
They never talk about
their achievement to anyone,
not even those closest to them,
but let time fade it away.
It is only when it is discovered in future years.
They receive the recognition
they so richly deserve.
These people are very humble
never thinking what they had done
was worthy of any recognition,
it was just something they wanted to do.
