POWER

Power: it’s never all or nothing.

I have some powers: 
I can smile;

I can say “Thank you!”; 
I can open my wallet

and give you an Andrew Jackson.

Okay you have a will of your own.

You don’t have to listen to me.

And by the way, God can create

all those stars 1 billion miles on

the other side of space I can’t see,

but he’s powerless when it comes

to what I choose to say or do.

Bummer?  No! That’s a loud, “Wow!’

So, I don’t know.  Freedom is quite

a power God  gave to you and me. Eh?
