*** Gifts ***

by 'Barry R. Long'

starting at birth we all are the same
except for a special gift from heaven that we gain
how can you ignore them, hide them, or not refine
those gems of ability need polish for them to shine
do you not realise one day they might go away ?
and ultimately is it not you, you betray ?
