Talent

Arrange all the letters together,

Give birth to the words—how clever

Write stories that live on forever

But, there’s always a writer who’s better

The artist mixes her paints

Gentle strokes, both bold and faint

A beautiful scene, she will create

But, can her piece just be replaced?

The builder lays the foundation

With a lot of determination

His project reaches completion

But, many build sturdy creations

Oh dear friends, we can’t afford

To not continue moving forward

When words unheard and unplayed chords

Are not performed for all the world

So write for us with fingers, so calloused

Paint our world from your colorful palette

Build us shelter with skill and your mallet

Your gifts are needed, don’t bury your talent
