What I Am

What I'm good at isn't tackling a most taxing sum or dealing with most pertinent problems neither is it giving wise counsel to the wayside fallen or liberating mankind from chains self imposed. what I'm good at is far more of import than this I'm not greatly talented in wading through water's at high speeds or Kicking my way across grounds at amazing velocity neither am I talented at echoing my voice in sweet melody tunes or writing in verse till tears strongly held are shed. What I'm talented at isn't at all this great but greater. I couldn't even with great expertise sweep a lady off her feet or with a might blow sweep an enemy to the ground neither can I even with great effort make nonsense of an exam or stand firm and not be cowed by great thunder that those who begot me would nod in pride. No I'm none of this mighty things but what I am makes sense to me still and that is me.
