JUST A DIFFERENT SHOE<\/p>\n

Some people say that I am talented,
\nWhile they feel that they are not,
\nBut let me tell you quite plainly,
\nThat is really just a bunch of rot.<\/p>\n

You in fact have your special gifts,
\nSome things which even I cannot do,
\nWe’re all part of the very same body,
\nExcept that we are a different shoe.<\/p>\n

Each one of us is just a little part,
\nBut together we make up God’s whole,
\nSo pray and discover your uniqueness,
\nThen do it with your heart and soul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
