This is very special Rhonda. It has a wonderful message in it and is written in good rhyme and meter. I like the use of the Lord's voice for the last 2 stanzas.

Comment from Dorothy Farrell
This is a lovely poem davisr - although not in strict meter it nevertheless flows beautifully - good rhyme (a couple near ones) and it carries a message. We should make the most of the talents we have and not strive to do what we cannot and you have put this perfectly in your poem, with faith in God incorporated in your writing. I enjoyed this very much. Warm regards Dorothy x

Thank you so much, Dorothy. I am working on improving my meter. I've had several other poets of FS lending a teaching hand. I'll work it out, eventually. Thanks so much,
Rhonda
Comment from boxergirl
Great emotive poem that we all can relate to. I have often wondered why I couldn't be a great singer or famous actor, etc. But when i finally realized other talents that i do have and that God had a purpose in giving them to me, I have found much peace.
Thankful,

Thank you, Karen, and I agree, we can become bitter when we don't use what God gave us, and stop beating ourselves up for what he didn't. Of course, we can learn new things with His support, and I think he wants us to do that, but there are just some things I don't want to learn that I once thought I did. Thanks so much,
Rhonda
Comment from MelB
Great rhythm, flow, and rhyme. Wonderfully written about being what God designed you to be and not what others do. We have all been made for a different purpose. Beautiful artwork as well.

Thank you so much for the sweet and generous 6 stars. This is one of the few poems I've attempted on my own, but I am trying to grow as a poet, and this message was so strong in my heart last night that I had to write it! Thanks again,
Rhonda
Comment from donalola
Great! God is represented well in your poem. We are the ones who have "strange" expectations of ourselves. God all powerful has a plan well defined for all of us and knows exactly what we are good for and what our purpose is. Stick to your writing you do it marvelously!

Beautiful, Rhonda, you took a subject dear to your heart and captured that feeling on paper--well, the computer screen, I guess it would be!

Comment from Ekim777
What a lovely picture, when mother and child meet reality! Why must talent alone lead the way to beauty. Surely beauty is a state of mind that we can all share? Why must our private concept of beauty be spoiled by envy and other very human traits. Beauty might just be born with the freedom of your child. Finally are the notes necessary?

I don't know, Ekim, about the notes. I guess I felt I should put something. I'm a teacher and I hate leaving things blank. lol. I do appreciate the comments, they are kind and uplifting!

Hello poet friend. Your choice of artwork is one of my favorites, she is so talented.
Your poem gives all poet and writers a divine purpose and reason to use their talents and gifts. A very encouraging poem, loved it.

Thank you so much, Loyd! I truly value your opinion as you are quite a gifted poet, and often write on spiritual matters. Thanks for the super 6 star review. You have brightened my day!
Yes, I liked the artwork, too, and I'm glad you know the artist. I was touched by it!

I agree, we all have different talents, and what a boring world if we were all created the same way. Excellent message and rhyming. We are meant to be what we are meant to be. Faye
