Free Will Given To Us With Love

He holds the entire universe in His hands Gently, like a father, for He is the ultimate father We sense He is there, some more aware than others He seems closer to us in the evening during our dreams He is careful to let us have free will, But He is also there to catch us if we fall, And to lift us up and remind us of the world’s goodness When we run out of steam and hope, and want to give up. He holds the little bitty babies, the old ladies, the bachelor dads In His hands, and who among us would have it any other way? And if you would, isn’t it great that He allows you that luxury? Free will is a gift not easy to give, yet given with love.
