What TALENT ?

"I Don't Have a-n-y talent." Does This Sound Familiar? You may have even said them yourself! And quite possibly, if you looked
closely enough, you might discover that you are wrong.

Mary E. Frye Enjoyed Writing Poetry. She wasn't interested in publishing
her poems, and occa­sionally she passed one on to a friend who could use a lift.
"I don't figure I have any great talent," the Bal­timore, Maryland home­maker said.
But Many people would Disagree.
One of her poems, especially, has Given Hope and Comfort to People
who mourn for over 50 years.

When a friend of hers lost someone close, Mary Frye jotted down a poem, which seemed to spring from her heart, and gave it to the
grieving woman.
That poem was later passed on to others, who, in turn,
passed it on Until it Became
an Ameri­can classic.
"If it helps One
Person through a hard time,
I am amply paid," said Mary,
who has Re­ceived No Remuneration
for her un­copy­righted work.
It has been used in countless fu­nerals, translated and used in foreign lands and
even incorporated into television drama.

Here is her Original Text, Which Has Moved So Many for So Long:

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am in a thousand winds that blow,
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain,
I am the fields of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
I am the starshine of the night.

I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room,
I am the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I Am Not There. I Do Not Die.

How many people are Finding Strength
and Solace from a verse jotted
By a Woman Who Always Professed She Had NO Talent?
And What IF She Had Kept Her Poetry
to Herself?
Don't Be Afraid to Use the Talents YOU Do Possess, it has been well advised.

The Woods Would be Very Silent If Only the Birds with the Sweetest Songs were Heard
! (;

I have heard the poem on the right many times...this is beautiful and a testament that we all hold back our gifts...and that we should use them..cause it is part of us..and we should share our selves not bury our gifts...cause you never know who would be blessed by them.

Beautiful music mix and song too.
