Finding Our Strengths
It’s nice to think that each of us
Possesses certain skills
Or talents or abilities
Which, maybe, life fulfills.
The lucky ones discover theirs
Perhaps when they are young
And if they’re able, nurture it
From when their hopes have sprung.
For many, strengths stay hidden
And then gradually appear,
At times to even influence
One’s choice of a career.
Yet others never have the chance
To tap into that vein
Where aptitude awaits,
So unaware they might remain.
To those who are unfortunate
And struggle to proceed,
It might be that a little boost
Might help them to succeed.
