Build On Your Strengths

We will always have our weaknesses.

But we must not let them control our life.

 

They will never be as strong as our strengths.

A rabbit will never swim like a duck.

 

We each have a natural talent.

Humble or grand it may be.

That which would be fun for life.

And we would never tire of doing.

 

And I do love to dig a good ditch.

I like to labor with a wheel-barrow.

These are fun to do and show progress.

And are much needed, I know.

 

But in today’s world of many needs.

I must learn more gentle tasks.

Those that compensate me better.

So, I reluctantly learn other trades.

 

Another person will dig and move the dirt.

I like to think that he will do as well.

But I don’t see the pleased smile.

I hope he sees a job well done.

 

Alas, as I get older the hammer gets heavy.

I will one day put down the shovel.

My wheel-barrow and ditches are dug.

I will have chopped my last fire-wood.
