When the world is falling apart around you
And you can smile as though you haven't a clue
Encouraging others volunteering you as their tower
Is when you have got true undiluted "Power".

When you have built a life for far too many years
Watched it fall apart without shedding too many tears
And start building again. Whether it be faster or slower
Then my child you have got real heartfelt "Power".

When you have committed yourself to marriage
And from another comes the baby in a carriage
And you can accept and becomes his mother
Then Lady you have indeed earned real "Power".

When you have carried a child in your womb
And then watched him/her being put in a tomb
Cried your tears but never call all grapes sour
Then even the Lord will agree you emits "Power".

When your best friend is outed as your only foe
And you can forgive and still love him/her so
Even after he/she has rode you like a lawn mower
Then and only then you have grown in "Power".

When you are broke and without a income
But you provide for your family and then some
Your integrity and dignity in tact every hour
Then you have learned to manage "Power".

When your Spirit has been overly abused by all
But your Soul has refused to allow it to fall
It mends tears and heal each wound daily.
Now you are wielding "Power" really!
