Keeping Your Talents

When the talents were given you were the first in line
When it was time to use them you declined 
For what ever the reason 
You felt  you were wasting your time
As the years passed you on bye 
You would come to a place in time
Were your talents would of benefited 
And made for a comfortable life 

Now your often known for a wasted talent 
How far you could of gone 
For what ever reasons 
That were right our wrong 
Your talents were never exposed
To those who would of love to see you
Achieve 

A wasted talent is a lost dream 
From young to old 
So often broken 
Before it reaches its goal 
When given a talent it
Opens all positive ideas
To just how far you can really go
