If I Had the Talent

Location

If I had the talent

I would write a book

About the world from my point of view

Here in my little nook

 

If I had the talent

I'd always want to sing

My lovely voice I'd always share

And happiness I'd bring

 

If I had the talent

I'd cook the day away

The house would be filled with pans of cake

And perhaps some yummy flambe 

 

If I had the talent

I would play a sport

My days would be spent on the soccer field

Or perhaps in the tennis court

 

If I had the talent

I'd try talking to that boy

My flirting skills would work out well

And that would bring much joy

 

If I had the talent

I'd play an instrument

I'd express myself through music more

And catch myself a gent

 

If I had the talent 

I would often love to dance

The celebrities on TV shows

Wouldn't stand a chance

 

But could someone without talent

Help their friends in times of need?

Know when to comfort those in pain?

Know when to stop or heed?
 

But I say that is talent itself!

We each have different skills to share

We all have talent as long as we help

Our loved ones and show that we truly care
