YOUR GIFT

Each of us is born with something special,
a gift that’s only given just to us,
a talent or a quirk or a way of seeing life,
a knack of finding light amidst the dust.

It’s your special little gift that’s going to take you,
to the places you have dreamed of in your head,
it will open doors and bring in souls who marvel at your skills,
It will harvest joy and chase away the dread.

But there’s something that you must be quite aware of,
when it comes to knowing just what is your gift,
people search for theirs in silent vain their whole life though,
a thankless chase like that can cause a rift.

Your gift you see, is not always a grand one,
it’s not the being fast, or saving lives,
it’s not always the singing voice, the dancing feet or more,
it can sometimes be a simple quirk of life.

Your gift could be a constant splash of colour,
a way of showing light through cloudy days,
your gift could be the way you make others feel at peace,
or bring some calm to someone’s messy day.

Your gift could be your ears that always listen,
when someone is in need of being seen,
your gift could be the way you view the world as something small,
and believe that we are all just one big team.

Your gift could be the passions that you share,
with others who are not that way inclined,
spreading art and spreading music all across your world,
is something that can change a lot of minds.

So take a minute now to look within you,
and see what little gift you’ve stored away,
let it out and show it love and bring it to the front,
your gift will stay with you now, all the way.

THOSE WHO WAIT…

If each of us knew how much time we had allocated,
perhaps we could play around with it.

But we don’t.

Believing tomorrow to be a guarantee,
is the biggest mistake we make.

Not seizing every day like the gift that it is,
is the biggest risk we take.

Waste time wisely my friend.

Time spent in rest, joy, company and kindness,
is never wasted.
As for the rest, just do it.

You won’t regret the things you tried and failed at,
but you will regret a life spent waiting.

Waiting for anything is a dangerous game because there is no guarantee the conditions will ever be just right.

Those who wait, wait..
but you,
you have a life to live.

Right here, right now.

So true! Love it.

Come home to the forest
Where time goes slow
and the breath is mellow
Where thoughts find rest
and calm comes to nest .
Come home to the woods
to be friends with trees
and listen to the breeze
to wander through trails
and mend your sails .
Come home to nature
when your heart is hurting
or your soul needs healing .
When something feels wrong
or you just need a place to belong .
The forest awaits
Come home , be healed ..
