Power

Just a glimpse at my thoughts

So maybe God is not powerful at all

Maybe he does not start earthquakes

He cannot motivate a person cancer cells to reproduce

He is not the reason for a mass genocide of a beautiful nation

 

So maybe God is not this omnipotent creator

Maybe he does not save the almost brain dead child

He cannot put one’s soul mate into their life

He is not the one to give a lucky man his incredible promotion

 

So maybe God is our father, our mother, our guardian

He wants to see us happy but cannot change the world

But he can give us those simple, small precious moments

 

The welcomed breeze on a sticky, summer day

The soft grass where we lay

With an ever-loving dog

 

The days we spend with loved ones

Forever laughing at ridiculous puns

Smiling, happy to be alive

 

And maybe for me a soul-filled song

We cannot help but to sing along

And lose ourselves awhile

 

So maybe God is not powerful at all

He brought us into being but just like a mom

He must leave us decide and govern our own lives

He can make us a hot water bottle and put on the kettle

But come up with miracle cures?

I think not!

 

God makes life more bearable for us and helps us when he can

 

Perhaps, with due consideration, he is powerful after all.

Your poem is engaging and I like the contrasts you produced especially the final twist which I admired alot: "So maybe God is not powerful at all..Perhaps, with due consideration, he is powerful after all"
