My Talent

MY TALENT

A Poem composed by Aare Tunde Dawood-Akerele, My Child My Pride’s author.

My talent is my power
Given by the Alpha
To make leading easy
Never I waste it.

My talent is my strength
Dashed by the Omega
To make living worthy
Never I hide it.

My talent is my sword
Received from the Heavenly Goldsmith.
To win all battles
Never I drop it.

My talent is my tool
Supplied by the Holy Craftsman
To fend for the livelihood
Never I kill it.

My talent is my gift
Bestowed by the Unlimited Giver
To share with others
Never I hoard it.

With it I influence the universe
With it I impact lives
With it I win battles
With it I carry out my duty
With it I appreciate The Provider
Always I do make use of it.

Through it, wealth accumulated,
As it brings comfort.
Through it, value attained,
As it brings respect.
Through it, fame earned,
As it brings popularity.
Through it, confidence achieved,
As it brings trust and conquers fear.
Never I rubbish it.
