Flame of Talent
Methodically, he gives to us
The beauty from his hands
Strumming strings and playing songs
This gentle hearted man
A talent shines within his heart
That he puts on display
Beauty and music side by side
I hope it never goes away
The flame of talent, diminishing now
As ability leaves his being
A rare form of cancer steals his songs
Leaving us just grieving
It’s bursting his bones, shattering dreams
Any dream he may have ever had
This once beautiful soul, playing tunes
Is now black and turning mad.
I pray for him this given day
I’ll pray for him tomorrow
I also wish that he could see
The rest of the world’s sorrow
For it doesn’t matter who we are
Or how young we even feel
If illness comes, a test from God,
Our lives, it may just steal.
