Sharp eyes may well be given,
but oft turn out to be
the poorest of all instruments
an anguished soul to see!
Ears, to the merest whisper,
may well be trained to hark,
but fail to discern a single word
used, to break a trusting heart!
A voice might be melodious,
thrilling, warm and deep,
but what if no words of wisdom
does it ever learn to speak?
A needful attribute is useless,
of less than no account,
if, as conduit for life's enchantment,
it is not a golden fount!
Needful Attributes.

Re: Needful Attributes.
That's deep thinking, and something to ponder. True on all counts. I enjoyed it.
