Talent by John Herlihy To nurture one’s talent A valued gift from God A talent as none other As an unspoken reward Soul music to sing as birds Breath to voice to melody Verses of fine poetic words From deep wells of mystery How we this talent to explain Drawn freely from nowhere Expressive of smiles and pain Uttered as a voice of prayer Talent expressed until fulfilled Listen as the heart until stilled - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Monday 19 May 2025

GOD, WHO MADE ONE AND ALL AND IS THE GIVER OF EVERY 'TALENT'... 'NEVER' MAKES A MISTAKE! HOW EVER THE TALENT HE PLACED IN EACH INDIVIDUAL IS TO BE USED...IT WILL BE USED, AMEN. REMEMBER...NOTHING...IS UNKNOWN OR A SURPRISE TO HIM. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+ INSPIRATIONS

"We are all talented" � Odin

I believe we start with certain talents. But it is only through practice and craftsmanship that we finally reach the full potential of what our talents really are.

I've noticed that you didn't rhyme in this one� perhaps on purpose.
