The Artist Within...

We all have hidden talents that stay dormant until we wake up and bring them to life.


Poem Artwork

My mother is a natural artist that can design and create art that's so very fine

So I wondered if I could follow her footsteps and see if I am artistically inclined

Then I took an art course in the local university and gave it the old college try

I was not a Picasso but my instructor thought that I had a pretty good eye

So I drew and sketched many things from a still life to a garden outdoors

I even drew a portrait of our professor, several students and so much more

It was truly amazing what you can do when you are put through a test

But lately I have been involved with other things so I gave art a rest

You never know what talents you have within, so pursue them in good measure

 

Go for the gold in life and if you get silver it’s still an experience to treasure!

I agree. If you don't try how can you truly know what you are capable of doing? I am enjoying my visit here at your den.

Talents are Gifts are things God gives us. The trick is finding out what they are.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for reading my poem Patrick. You play a guitar and I am sure you play much better that I. There was a time when I took lessons but nothing stuck. Then later in life I tried to teach myself and I was just too stubborn it seems. So perhaps playing a guitar is not my forte. God gives us all talents and as we develop them we can share those gift with others. My mother enjoyed seeing my art but I am sure she would run away if I started twanging on a guitar. LOL

I believe that we all have talents of some sort, no one was born in vain. We just have to search within ourselves and discover our own talents. Great poem, John!
