Treat Your Talents

God Given Gifts

Neglect not any gifts that are within you,
God gave each of us talents to construe;
For our talents are our treasures on earth,
That God assigns us at the time of birth;
There is only one body with many parts,
Not everyone can be eyes or the hearts;
Treat your talent tender hold with a glove,
It can be killed fast if not giving it love;
Treat your talent gently like it was a baby,
It can be bruised until it reaches maturity;
Treat your talent with honor and respect,
If it's not well trained it will reflect;
Treat your talent by giving it protection,
Don't loose or incite into an insurrection;
Treat your talent with much good nutrition,
Feed it well to let it grow in transition;
Treat your talent with the best medication,
Negative thoughts can cause infection;
Treat your talent to know responsibility,
Giving you the ability and the nobility.
