Be Awake

Feeling the world is big, with no power to see.
Saying it is so large no one can sense a degree.

Has been said you can change your world
Changing heartaches into happiness unfurled.

Power is in your hands, to change all things.
Faith flowing in your soul, the spirit brings.

Visions of your heart and mind will confirm.
Futures are made, do not wallow and squirm.

We all have a power and a purpose in life.
Seek and find, stay sharp as a knife.

Power is in your hands, decisions and choices.
What you hear in your mind is you; not voices.

Choice is a powerful tool, for to use and make.
Awakening the roads to travel, be sure you’re awake.

The day is far spent, arise from darkness of sleep. We have this power within the souls of our sacred hearts, bring it forth into the capable hands of our Agape wisdom. Two spiritual legs we posess, first wisdom then knowledge follows. Congratulations Cecil, on your worthy poem's success in the contest. Agape, Moses
