From God...
I can give you wings,
But I can't fly for you,
Give your an appetite,
And provide the food,
But can't eat for you,
Give you opportunity,
But you have to reach out for it,
Make grace and strength available,
But you have to tap into it,
Offer you love,
But you must accept it,
Give you life,
But you must live it,
Give you a vision,
But you must heed it,
Take you to the stream,
But you must drink,
Or else you live in all you ever need,
Yet direly be in want and need,
And that my child,
Is the greatest tragedy of our time.
