Bag of Tools -
RL Sharpe

Each of us are given a bag of tools to do with what we wish. Some can't seem to do anything with a whole workshop full of tools, yet others can perform miracles with one spanner.

This poem is a reminder that everyone has their own talents. Whatever these talents may be, the sum of them are unique to you. And how you put these talents to use are up to you. You build a path to a better tomorrow. Or you can build a wall around yourself.

We've been given all the tools we need. It may not be the same as your neighbours'. It might not be the tools you wanted. But it is yours. You can complain and do nothing. Or you start to build something amazing. Show us what can be do with that set of tools (or despite of it).

No matter your station at birth or the life you've had, we are all builders of a sort. What you choose to build today will not only impact those around you now, but also the generations of tomorrow. So put some conscious effort into building something positive that will last for ages. What will you do with the tools in the bag that you were given?

The Poem

Isn't it strange how princes and kings,
and clowns that caper in sawdust rings,
and common people, like you and me,
are builders for eternity?

Each is given a list of rules;
a shapeless mass; a bag of tools.
And each must fashion, ere life is flown,
A stumbling block, or a Stepping-Stone.


-RL Sharpe
