The Submerged Gift Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

The Submerged Gift

Rating: 5.0

An extraordinary gift
within your soul,
left stagnant..
left to fade...

It became a liability
of the choice you made.

Now,
it sits like an Unstruck Match
submerged in water,
incapable of giving light--
a reminder of what
you failed to achieve--
cutting into your peace of mind.

Again powerfully sewn with such imagery! ... God has Blessed each heart each soul with their own gift/gifts it is up to the heart to use these gifts...

So sad that so many do not use the gifts that they were endowed by God! That shows ingratitude and is an insult to The Creator!
