If You Could Have One Talent What Would It Be
For Me That's Easy
I would want the ability to find people in their darkest hour
When they are lonely and vulnerable
Weak and sad
Lost and confused
Exhausted
Losing hope and faith
I would say hold on a second
All is not that bad
It is just hidden for the moment
Just think back to an early time
When things in your life were going well
Feel the passion and the power
You were the happiest you've ever been
All the light is shining on and reflecting off of you
You are an angel with wings
You have the ability
To dream the happiest of all things
Here to love the things that you enjoy
Don't let things bother you
You can't solve a problem when you are thinking irrational
Experiencing different feelings of disappointment and frustration
Try to understand the reasons behind the feelings
Make a list
Add to the list when you feel the need
To look back at a moments notice
Then learning to switch your feelings
To be motivated and excited
Taking on a challenge
Using your creative power for good not bad
Slowly learning the difference
So next time when problems seem to come like steam from a locomotive
Instead of being anxious and uncomfortable
Think of the moment like a tea kettle ready to boil
Turn down the heat to slow things down
Then shut it off completely when it begins to make noise
You have been part of all the changes
Seeing and feeling every step of the way
You became out of control and soon gained confidence and knowledge
Learning how to take the energy and transform it into something special
Not hiding it or covering it up
Putting it to good use
Examining it like a doctor examines a patient
Not giving it a tempoary fix
Using a good life long home remedy
That will work anywhere at anytime
For anyone in the world
Now you can teach others
So they to can feel better
Not just for a little while
Whenever needed
Use again and again
Act like a cell phone camera taking a selfie
Carefully recording every word and action
Putting cutting edge technology to the test
Doing a job it was made for
An awesome flat screen t.v. can't help you
Neither can a fancy hot rod
Not a stack of hundreds piled high
Even a delicious meal cooked to perfection
Only fills your body temporarily and hours later you will be hungry again
So if today is a good day ride it like the wind
If today is not the best
Use a couple of simple tricks that work
To make your day brighter
See what's under the covers
By first taking a peek
Then fixing it little by little
By looking more and more
When you are ready
It can be even more fun
When you share it with a friend
