If I stop now

by Mpho Ramoshaba   Apr 12, 2020


If I stop now before my talent
Stop now before my time has come
Stop now before my unique gift has been used
Stop now before my god given talent is fulfilled

Talent that I am blessed with!
The hand that I write now won’t write again
Because this pen I am now using will be empty
It won’t fill up these papers again
It won’t fill up these papers with my thoughts and my ideas
And it won’t again fill up these papers with the experiences in my life

Neither do I write again as I do now
Nor do I read again

When I leave, I won’t see this life picture again!
When I leave, I will leave this place to greener pastures
Where, I will live an everlasting life

Talent that I have is like a lock without key
Is like flying without wings
It lacks something!
It lacks power, bravery, courage, and inspiration
To accomplish this before I sleep
To shape the world with my ideas
To share my unique knowledge with them before I leave
And to show the world magic He gave me before I sleep

But where is my will?
The willpower to accomplish this before I sleep
But I will always be present in their memories
When I leave them with things they will recall me of

But if I only do this now, I will be remembered too!
I will vanish but my image won’t
I will die but my spirit won’t die

They will weep with broken heart when I am gone
Suppose if they know this, they won’t cry

I will leave- they will live
He will judge me as He does to everyone
Punish me if I stop before my talent is exposed?
As, I vanish this place going back to Him
