Talents And Gifts

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Years to come and done to disappear.
Has of yet diminished,
One's talents and blessed gifts to get.
That seem to grow more significant.
Whenever or where,
One decides to reveal them to appear.

Too noticed is the 'IT' one has.
Shown to make known,
This difference with that 'IT' to have.
Can not be duplicated or compared,
With others who dare...
To say or refuse to admit,
One talented with gifts...
And that 'IT' to possess.
Remains theirs alone to own and express.

Regardless of the time,
One's 'IT' to address this.
Stays as fresh as it has ever been.
When discovered by others,
To have a timeless quality!
Over and over again and again.
