HMMMMM...GOOD POINTS OF COMPARISON AND EXPONDED UPON WITH GREAT POETIC PHRASES, STYLE AND RHYME, WHICH I ENJOYED IMMENSELY. HOWEVER, I MUST SAY, THIS SHARING STIRRED ME TO THINKING; GOD, THE SOURCE OF ALL POWER WHO CAN FORC, YET...NEVER FORCES. HE ALWAYS ALLOWS ONE TO...CHOOSE...! SO THEN, THE WORDS OF GOD THAT SAYS, 'WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG' AND ALSO 'LET THE WEAK SAY I AM STRONG', AND LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST; OUR SAVIOR, WHO WAS 'WEAK' UNTO DEATH. ALL THESE EXAMPLES MAKES ONE WONDER IN AMAZEMENT AT THE AMOUNT OF 'STRENGTH/STRONG WILLED' NEEDED TO BE 'WEAK' AND...LET GOD, BE GOD! AMEN. A CAJOLING WORK, MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

i loved these contrast poetry and very strong finish on both parts. i appreciate the point you made here, John, subtle, not in any way domineering, but clearly reached our minds.

I believe there are a lot more weak-willed than strong-willed, but strong-willed often lead them. Being strong-willed doesn't necessarily mean that a person is right all the time, but psychologically they can impress their ideas on others without any proof that they are true.

A nice juxtaposition to explore with your poetic expertise.

The Yin and Yang of poetry. Extreme opposite with very different results. Well done with this enjoyable poem.
