THE GIANT PATCHWORK
OF THIS WORLD

By Josie Whitehead

Giant Patchwork of This World (The)

In the giant patchwork of this world,

     I’m but a tiny part:

One little piece in this huge place,

      But I’ve a giant’s heart.

 

I’ve my skills to use, my words to speak,

     In this small patch of mine,

And, I hope my time upon this earth,

      Will be well-spent – I’ll shine!

 

I’m one of millions in this world –

     Yet each one is unique.

I hold the power within my heart

     To see, to think, to speak.

 

I’ll show respect for other folk

     Who share God’s world with me,

And, in this tapestry of life,

      I’ll add my artistry.

 

I’ll do my best for other folk;

     I’ll use God’s gifts with care,

And I hope the talents which I have,

      With others I may share.

NOTE:   (1 Peter 4.11). 10  Each one, as a good manager of God's different gifts, must use for the good of others the special gift he has received from God.  

You will discover in life that you have special gifts that perhaps are different to those of others whom you know.  Develop your own gifts and use them for the good of others.  I hope I've done this for you, although I didn't discover my gift for writing poetry until I met the children in my local school who asked me to write poems for them and then encouraged me to write more.  Now they go out to the children of the world through this website.  I do hope you like them.  Discover your own skills.
