A person cannot have
A different talent from its chosen
If this person were discontent
And wish to change its likings:
It could not.
And should it fret,
Its never seen its talents,
Nor after their hard work
have they appreciated their blessings
everyone has than own unique skills
and their desire and cravings
To be what their not
All envious people are:
With time and effort
Its fine qualities will reveal;
They cannot see their own beauty
And their talents they have yet to discover.
