CALLINGS
CALLINGS

God blesses all His children
With some sort of special talent
Each crafted individually
Providing skill and balance
Some are known as artists
They make colors come alive
Their creations help the rest of us
To relax, refresh, revive
Others have the gift of gab
They can make folks feel at ease
They're good at drawing people out
They aim to soothe and please
Still others excel at building things
Out of glass or wood or stone
They're the ones we look to
To provide our hearths and homes
And some are simply born to teach
Their business is education
Its' hard to find another group
That matches their dedication
And don't forget the healers'
Those who battle for our health
For in the long run that is worth
Much more than any wealth
And then there are musicians
Who each play have special roles
With sheet and voice and instrument
They help lift up our souls
Ministers, preachers and men of God
Each interpret the Father's Word
Spreading the good news of salvation
To those who haven't heard
And some are great with language
Like this as yet unknown poet
I have style, wit and flair...
The world just doesn't know it!
And that's ok for I'm not sure
What part my poems will play
Or what God has in store for me
And He has the final say...
In the meantime we can each
Practice our talents tried and true
Trust God… believing in the end
That He'll show us what to do!
