Luna child invited us all to post the kind of talents we would like to have. I wrote a few lines of verse in response, but that reply is at the foot of an avalanche of responses so I am reposting here for readers to see. Here we go, describing the talents I'd like to have:
The talent to listen with an open mind,
The talent to comfort with soothing words,
The talent for silence when no words are found,
The talent to be there at all times.
