My Potential (Louis Toliver Jr

A friend once revealed myself to me

I didn't much know how to see

He said I'd be a pharaoh among kings

I'd be a protector of what life brings

My intellect would instigate the seas

My spirit would bring honey to the bees

The world was too small for me to stand

My friend calmed me and took my hand

I didn't think of myself as I should

At times I felt my soul was hollow wood

If the confidence of angels is God's game

At what point would I recognize my name?

My potential has to be earned by the stars

But, I am no good to earth living on Mars

I thank my friend for preparing me for today

I've been enlightened to finding my way
