A beautiful poem to reflect on...
« on: September 11, 2011, 12:28:39 AM »
POTENTIAL

'Take my little twig and grow a tree through me;
my single snowdrop can become a grove,
my sentence blossom to a book.
Transform my single string into a cello.
That tiny note I sing: may it become a 4-part choir.
My scrape of bow you make a symphony.
That single dot of paint: transform into a masterpiece.
That blob of clay: mould to a stately pot.

Take my candle, start a lighthouse,
take my torch and light a city,
take my e-mail: start a network,
take my smile and give a million hugs.

But in my heart I know unless it's You
I am condemned to finger paint,
to pat cold clay,
to plink upon the keys.
Give me a chord or two
for in that chord the heart will show:
not mine, but Yours.'

[Benet Conroy FSC, 1943-2009]
