The Presence of  Glory

Folks don’t handle well the company
Of  that person of glorious note.
He’s attractive but discomfiting;
His glory exposes deficiency.
There is an awkwardness:
A sense of failure, subordination;
A feeling of wrongfulness
Inspired by the presence
Of the high-level achiever.
Yeah, such company is discomfiting,
But it need not as such be so!
We ALL fall short of HIS glory,
Making ours a very minor story.
