If I stop before my talent

by MPHO GODFREY RAMOSHABA   Sep 11, 2007


If I stop before my talent,
Stop before my time has come.
And stop before my unique gift has been used.
And stop before my god given talent is fulfilled.
Talent that I am blessed with.
To pass and expose it to the animals in the world.
To sacrifice this to Him before I sleep.
And to release what my mind has grasped.

The hand that I am now writing.
Will never write again.
Because this pen I am now using will be empty.
It will never fill up paper again.
It will never fill up paper with my thoughts and my ideas.
And it will never again fill up paper with the experiences in my life.

I will never write again as I do.
And never read again.
And I will never see this life picture again!
As I will leave this place to greener pastures,
Where I will live an everlasting life.

This 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 ability 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
But if I only do this, I will be remembered too!
I will vanish but my image will not,
I will die but my spirit will not die.
And they will weep with broken heart when I am gone
Suppose if they know this
They wonâ??t cry.

I will leave- they will live.
But He will judge me as He does everyone.
And punish me if I stop before my talent is expressed.
And now I have to before after using my talent.
Stop after utilizing my God given gift.
And accomplish this special task He gave me before I sleep.
And as I will vanish this place going back to Him.

    And he will panish you if you don't obey Him, and if you obey Him your pen will refill
    and you will share with us your ideas again.

    nice one GIFT, keep it up.
