Gifts

See the problem with gifts
is that if they are not used they get lost
unlike treasures,
tokens,
gems
and presents
a gift, a spiritual gift can not be misplaced
or relocated
only to be reclaimed again
for once that gift is ignored
it moves on and sails on like an individual cloud
sure other gifts may manifest in different arrays
but that gift like a could, will never be the same
for those other gifts could never
make you reach that high
or rain down on you and cleanse you
or protect you from the light of your own fire
no matter how big or how small
the gift was your gift
the tear drops that fell from heaven came from your labor
and the shadows that cooled your sweat was your shade
so I ask you to lease hold on to your gift
for it may never come again
