Free Will Poem by Heather Delhom

Why do our souls pay the consequences of our choices?
These sins we plague our minds and bodies with torment us relentlessly.
We suffer in agony over something we have a choice about.
Free will is a gift that has been given to us, but so many abuse the privilege.
We are the one perfect creature God designed in His likeness.
We must embrace the challenges we face, and not succumb to a path of destruction.
The free will within us is powerful; take care to use it decisively.

(Summer-2006)
