Has Anybody Seen Will Power

Has anybody seen will power? He does not come around much anymore, I don't know how long we can hold out, Without a dose of his fortitude, An ounce of the courage he once thought us worthy of, Or the strength he gave us to keep our hearts open to love, And our minds closed to hate. Has anybody seen Will Power His famous pep talks have given new life to many Backbones no longer lacking in Iron, And cleared the fog from many minds, So they could clean drugs and alcohol out of their systems, Freshen their breath and remove yellow stains from their teeth, And resist those who are offering shortcuts to the pearly gates. Has anybody seen Will Power, We need to find him before it is too late, The clock is ticking, For some it is already too late, Even for Will to help. Has anybody seen Will Power, If you should stumble across him, Tell him of our plight, And that some of us are still holding out, In the hope he will not forsake us, In our hour of need, That some of us have stayed true to him, And will never bend to another Will.

I love a good mystery. Perhaps this ties in with your story? Maybe, maybe not. I shall read your other poems.

Interesting how some thoughts come about. I sat down at computer, with nothing in particular in mind, yet it was all there in front of me in an instant without any alteration. Will power is such an amazing resource some of us seem lucky enough to be able to call upon. I was not expected to live as a baby. Hopefully this piece will help others find that will power too.
