This Gift Is For You

God gives everyone a gift, that’s unique;
a talent; intended to be used;
when it is used; we reach our peak;
if not; God feels abused.

The talent, given; is not for its receivers;
its benefits are meant to be shared;
a form of love; given to all believers;
showing, how much God cared.

With all talents; comes responsibility;
usually accompanied by pain;
whether talents of heart or physical agility;
loss results in growth and gain.

Much of my life; I have felt left out;
my greatest talent; buried within;
I hadn’t a clue; what growth was about;
not even knowing where to begin.

No talent is better than any other;
tho we usually don’t understand;
most desire the talent of a brother;
contrary to what God planned.

A caterpillar’s gift; wrapped in a coccoon;
perhaps, she thought she would die;
then, that coccoon transformed to a womb;
for beauty was destined to fly.

All creation came about from a word;
in which love blossomed and grew;
me writing poety seemed rather absurd;
this gift was given for you.
