All of my life
I have had no talent
Hidden or on show
No gift or endowment
No skill or mastery
No bent or flair
Ability or forte
Nothing to mark me out
From the common herd
Or stand me out from
the crowd
All of my life
I have been ordinary
Mediocre and average
Quite mundane and
everyday
No hint of genius
Expert only in my
ordinariness
But content in my
mediocrity
All of my life
I have been un-ambitious
No goals to be
achieved
Not driven by desire
In any shape or form
Some might say
shiftless
I would say satisfied
Happy with my lot
All of my life
I lived a half life
Until my outlook
changed
When I saw you smile
And heard you speak my
name
I was born again
With new purpose
A new vocation
To shed my mediocrity
And cast it aside
Like a well-used coat
And dig deep within
myself
To find that dying
ember of desire
That almost
imperceptible spark
So clearly visible to
you
And breathe life into
it
Until white hot
And then fan the
flames of passion
You have ignited in me
All the rest of my
life
Endowed with your gift
I will feel extraordinary
And with my newfound
ambition
My one and only goal
The sole purpose of my
being
Is to make you truly
happy
As happy as you have
made me
And with all my heart
and soul
I will dedicate myself
To always loving you
