God Gave Us Each A Special Gift
You may have already become aware of that, but you may have not.
We feel that unless we are rich and famous, there's nothing we have got
To share with anyone out there. Maybe we've never been told
How we're each viewed by this world, unaware that we are pure gold.
It has flashed across my mind, "Take what you have and do what you can."
That's my old standby. Most of us have abilities we never use in our earthly span.
Many times your talents just lie dormant and you aren't aware
Of them, or that anyone on earth would ever even care.
Search your soul for what you can do to make this world a better place.
Maybe, inadvertently, you will become aware of talents lying lost, like old lace,
Just asking to be presented, to make some's world worth living in,
And you may touch the soul of someone who hasn't ever had a friend.
