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.

Nothing like a little pat on the back to encourage the fledgling artiste. A nicely observed write, Ilene… pat, pat ;-)
