Sing

 For Taylor Swift

The world belongs not to the gifted

(We are all of us gifted),

But to the ones who discover their gift

And then, without hesitation, give it away

Over and over again.

Like a wildfire, the legend of these people spreads.

A child with a mind to sing

Will sing, whether those around her like it or not.
If she truly has a mind to sing,

She'll make it so that one day everyone

Will want to hear.
Some may continue to scoff

But only because they never discovered their gift.

What good is life

If we can't share the best of it

With others?

Hermits will scoff.

But I'll say:

Come out of your cave.
Look at the the sun.
Sing.
