Wasted Talent?


The sun rises on a cycle, calm and steady
On a new life to span about seventy-plus years
Experiences of a youth, with tears to spare

A beckoning voice of comfort - caressing those little ears
Soothing a shaping soul with hope to warm the world
Warn any who would hinder

Bright fresh growth, smooth and slender
A galaxy of wonder springs - water pure and fresh
The essence of humanity built to pass the test

Gleaning the accounts of history - a world full of mystery
From adolescence to adulthood
Brilliance that penetrates - opportunity won’t wait 
Every man and woman is endued with gifts
Be vigilant to guard against the rifts

Fissures in time to take away yours and mine
Make good use of these precious moments
And strive to leave even a small legacy
So when your day is near and all your air is spent
You will have shared with the world your talent.

In a list

Please tell me what you think

      Thank you.

      Sorry for late feedback. I didn't even realize that you had commented (until now: 6:41 a.m.) - anyhow, I appreciate your kind words. I heard about you from my brother (and read a sample before you posted at AP (here) ). I hope this venue allow you to experience more creativity and growth than you could have imagined. Thanks again for sharing.
