I Know a Potter

.
I know a potter who makes plates
   and bowls, and cups and saucers too,
making both formal and traditional ware,
   it's just what all good potters do.

Each piece has its own role and place,
   even butter dishes and mugs have jobs,
all part of the master potter's grand plan,
   with none made as mere bits and bobs.

But not always is everyone so willing
   to do what the potter has in mind,
sometimes a saucer wants to be a cup
   or a dish fancies itself another kind.

On one hand, free-will is so good,
   where a bowl can be a cup for tea,
but it's equally more than so sad,
    not being what we were made to be.
 

Genesis 1:26+
