My Higher Power

My Higher Power is a power that I harbor within me. My Higher Power is the source of my spirituality. My Higher Power has caused many to state that I'd be a great therapist, but My Higher Power would never allow me a profession such as this. My Higher Power oversees doctor/patient professional distance. My Higher Power compels me to help unfortunates in every instance. My Higher Power would force my work home with me. Sleepless nights spent from hearing so many horror stories. My Higher Power would cause me to act unethically. I'd go bankrupt helping patients financially and if any patients of mine also happened to be children, rest assured, My Higher Power would have me adopt every single one of them. The extra lunch I'd pack before starting my work day would be left with the sleeping homeless woman I see everyday in the subway. My Higher Power puts spare change into the beggar's hand. My Higher Power doesn't seem to understand that I'm only one man in a world so full of sorow and misery. Sometimes My Higher Power is a major inconvenience for me.
