Sonnet- You Must Struggle To Achieve Great Things

The greatest men were born in humblest ways;
The birth of Jesus is an example;
Achievers great have had their troubled days;
Yet, any record, you can well trample.

The most exotic of Orchids is found,
Deep in jungles, no man has ev'r set foot;
The most beautiful pearl makes you dumb-found,
But is got from near deepest sea-plant root.

The best scent on earth is from the Musk –deer;
A gold-nugget is got deep in a mine;
And huge diamonds can't be got very near,
For oil, you drill thro’ the bottom of brine.

The priceless things in life are scarcely found;
Unless, you dig a lot into the ground.
