We could wish to be moral,
we could wish to be philosophically comforted,
in fact, we could will these things with all our might,
but the needed power wasn't there.
Our human resources, as marshalled by the will,
were not sufficient; they failed utterly.
Lack of power, that was our dilemma.
We had to find a power by which we could live,
and it had to be a
Power greater than ourselves.

Thought to Ponder....

Willpower ... our will-ingness to use a Higher Power.
