Above All Valentine

Even if greatness came upon you
You would not be great
It would still be your fate
 
To seize your smallness
And to cleave to little things
To question what is great
 
Greatness with its use-by date
Its puffed-up follies
And its hopes too late
 
When to be small is all
To be of no account
And to have longed to fall
 
To let this be your greatness
To have stood with what is small
To be no one above all
