We Are All Born With Special Gifts. Poem by David Boyce

We are all born with Special Gifts.

We are all born with Special Gifts,
But some will never use at all,
These gifts are buried deep within your soul,
And can be strong when we are small.

The use is sometimes blanked out,
According to religious beliefs,
But when you wish to acknowledge it,
You will find it deep beneath.

Many children find it playful,
When they have that special invisible friend,
But when their school learning starts,
They may find this will end.

Many teachers do not believe,
So this spiritual force does not appeal,
And children start to dismiss this,
Because they then believe it's no longer real
