Art and Artist

Some hands write novels, poetry, lyrics
Some hands carve idols
Some shape statues
Some hands design buildings
Which artist greatest?
Which art noblest?
All human creations
Yet vary their value
Men destined for different fates
Someone the tip of the hat,
Someone the crust of humility.

Much to think about in this poem. Yes, we all have our talents and gifts. The secret is to use them wisely. The last two lines are wonderful. Keep on writing. Thank you for your kind words regarding my poem. Karen

We all bring something special to the table. God forbid we ever forget that and judge someone else's contribution. Vince
