A Gift

In either translation,
“A gift”, “whatever gift”, not the gifts, the talents
a singular gift we each are given
by the creator, for His glory
Our “starfish”, the thing we are to share
the way we are to serve
A member of the body of Christ
a disciple, a part of the church
Each of us gifted, for His glory
Sharing our voices, our hands,
our special gift with the world
in our creator’s, our savior’s name
