PASSION AND PURPOSE

Post by Bobpower »

On the day of birth, God's gift was not known,
It stays patiently within until we have grown.

On a day of wonder, the gift is revealed,
the passion exposed has now been sealed

Some called it talent, but it’s so much more,
It’s burning desire goes down to the core.

Determination will quench the fire in your heart,
Until we were told, the foolishness must stop.
 
Driven by society we are told how to subsist,
To forget the passion and why we exist.

The gift we were given is furled with delight
Don’t listen to those who only see the plight.

Our purpose is realized from the passion we hold
Embrace it each day, and your success will be told.

This is a wonderful piece... It explains that the society can sometimes blur our view of our purpose as in the line(s)...
Driven by society we are told how to subsist,
To forget the passion and why we exist.

The gift we were given is furled with delight
Don’t listen to those who only see the plight.

The second line tells us that we should not listen to those who don't see beyond our weaknesses.
Harmony in chaos. It's all a matter of perspective.
