1And what is a talent?
Are they worth having-
To whom will I be telling?
What is a friend-
A kinship, a cumber?
How do they affect you-
A hindrance a cheer?
What is jealousy-
Something green and greedy?
Why green-
To symbolize your color inside?
What causes jealousy-
A comrade with endowment?
Why does it strike-
To corrupt and debase,
To sever a bond?
What are abilities for-
To practice or to hide?
To what value do they amount-
Tattered and moth nibbled, scarred with idleness,
Bountiful treasure, more costly than diamonds?
What good is a friend-
One who is jealous?
You like them a lot-
But they sometimes seem bitter?
Why do friends become jealous-
Are they still friends?
Each has their own excellent, unique talents-
Possibly sent from above?
Do each of us need to accept-
What we are and what we aren't?
What we're meant to do-
Whether we want to or not?
This sould can only long for the day-
When we can accept what we've been given.
Is it possible-
That we can live like this-
As I have suggested?
Can we be happy for each other-
Despite our differences?
Wouldn't this world be boring-
If we were all the same-
Same talents?
Same faults?
Let's accept one another-
Can we?
