L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Musing On Self-Discovery

Life is much more than a pretentious ambition
A sense of entitlement or finding one’s position.
Life is discovering your individual, innate talent,
Unique self-qualities, on which you hold a patent
Your raison d’etre, answering “Why am I here?”
You will find it in the things you hold most dear.
