My talents I’m told
Reaching far and wide
But they leave me yearning
For something more inside
Something created
Shaped from my own hands
Built from separate parts
Only a craftsman understands
The part of me
That reaches deep within
For something that took
My whole life to begin
And this I must confess
Creativity dares me
A challenge I can’t resist
For what is yet to be
To build it straight and true
Polished to a luminous shine
Knowing all the while
It’ll always be mine
It’s the searching
For that unfulfilled quest
A thirst needing to be quenched
The pursuit of personal best
