[hometext] => This poem was written during my internal struggle between using what I felt was a gift God intended me to use ... versus the various kind of 'care-taker' tasks that I felt were my responsibilities to family and society. Bizzy
[bodytext] => The unused talent,...
Will it be missed by the world? Could persons have benefited By that talent unfurled? God gave me a talent Thats such fun to do,... But, I've held it back For spare times that are few. I'm a capable person That can do alot,... So, day to day, In other chores I'm caught. I want to do right By God and man,... To do the best In this life that I can;... Many care-taking chores And wants to fill,... All good works to do,... Can they fill my bill? Can I go to the Lord, Say I didn't find time... To sing you a song,... Paint a picture,... Write a rhyme? My gift's not so great For the world to miss;... Yes,... The world could live Quite well without this; Yet, if I give myself chance And I share it, My frivolous talent May brighten a spirit. This matter concerns, both,... Me and the Lord;... Its a void in my life I cannot afford. Might I die unfinished,... Feeling anguished grief, cry? Could I look at Jesus Without making a try? G.F.R.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
