Al tells Bill, “I’m powerless.” Bill tells Chad,
“I’m crazy.” Chad tells Dean, “I let go and
let God.” Dean tells Edward, “I soul search.” Ed
tells Ferdinand, “I confess.” Ferdinand
tells George, “I’m ready.” George tells Henry, “I’m
released.” Henry tells Ira, “I review.”
Ira tells Jack, “I amend.” Jack tells Kim,
“I take stock.” Kim tells Len, “I continue
contemplation.” Len tells me, “I try to
carry on.” I tell Al, “I’m powerless.”
That’s how it goes with our small retinue.
Then we scatter, remember how we’re blessed.
Pay attention as we move and speak. Hope,
if asked, we can help a sufferer cope.
