Wake up and tell the day

DARREN NELSON

Woke up this morning and I told the day,"I have dominion over you because I knowI am the child of God."

Thoughts sang themselves along my way.Down to the depot, in my work, at school.Mine was a sure initiative; I knew Love giveswhatever opportunities I choose.Didn't have to act like anyone but me;didn't have to weigh in on somebody else's scalesor wait to hear the newsto calculate which way my world will spin.Wanted to hug whoever came along, to say,"O friend, we are beloved—the very sons of Himwho sent His Son (the one who said, 'Neither do Icondemn thee ... sin no more')."
