Talents

A Poem by Brother Jacob

Talents of ours, we do not own.
They are gifts from the one, who sits on the throne.

You who play sports could have been born lame,
unable to participate in the game.

We who are poets could have been born without hands
or creative sound minds; do you understand?

Every talent of ours comes from the Lord above;
He wraps them with His gift of love.

Remember who has the power to give and take;
if we think it's us, we're not awake.

The Lord giveth, and the Lord can taketh away, - Job 1:21
be grateful to Him each and every day.
