Heart Power Vs Brain Power (Dedication To John Freeman)

If human brains hold such high capacity Why is the use of intelligence scanty? Some claim telekinesis and ESP Are available to them quite readily While others have trouble writing and reading Is intellect defined in unborn seedlings Pregnant mothers who listen to classic tunes Say the passion for music grows in their wombs But that can't explain the musical prodigy Reincarnation gifts -- another theory What roles do genes play? Can talents be bestowed? Scientists seem focused on genetic codes Talent and genius are enviously measured By those who have neither such gifts are treasured But the size of our hearts and the joy in our souls Prove far more precious as a man's life unfolds So much significance is placed on IQ But our Lord is not apt to ask what we knew When we face final judgment, God just might say Did you use my gifts wisely or let them decay? Did you use your wisdom for personal gain? Did the talents I bequeathed bring you great fame? Or did you open your heart, provide relief To those needing comfort and help with their grief? When you had no money, did you lend a hand? Did you leave loving footprints across the white sand? Great thinkers and athletes might feel they are blessed But those who love are heaven's most welcome guests Souls with talent and wealth may not measure up To one who puts his last coin in a beggar’s tin cup * Dedicated to John Freeman and inspired by his blogs about concepts vs precepts
