"There is no greater gift for the world than being the best in everything you do, someone is blessed in the process and the world is a little better than the day before"--Bernice Angoh



Poem Artwork

I want to change the world
oh how I want to change the world
to embarce the darkness in this horrid space
and light it up with the smile of my eyes


I want to change the world
oh how I want to change the world
there, a little boy sits, he knows not what to do
afraid of the demons at night, afraid of him he knows so well


I want to change the world
oh how I want to change the world
erase the fires underneath her skirt
make her see with a strawberry heart


I want to change the world
oh how I want to change the world
to carry the crosss of another
as if it were my mine
to give my life for a purpose bigger than my own


I want to change the world
oh how I want to change the world
I would keep their hearts child-like
while I watch them grow in bounds and leaps


I want to change the world
oh how I want to change the world
rain butterflies from heaven above
pollute the air with intoxicating love


I want to change the world
oh how I want to change the world
Make of myself the best of me
be an example for all to see

Very lovely images, sweet and strong at the same time.
I want to change the world too!
The world needs idealists, they've been hiding for too long.

This is the the most perfect example of spiriuality.
You have some beautiful ideals, and a great imagination.

Comes out strong and purposeful... I love refrains. I found myself skipping over it though, after the first 4 stanzas. What if....

What if you leave the first 4 as is, then cut out the refrain on the next few, so it's just one huge run-on of things you want to do--things you see to change, and then add the refrain, backwards, to the end? Would that make it stronger? Check it out.

Then again, who am I to suggest to you... any way you put it, it's beautiful sentiments that just show what I already know about you-- your heart could fill up this world. --Charlie

Very noble goals Berniice! It is said that if you want something bad enough,you can get it! I believe that especially with prayer, in spirit and truth. Then if God sees it is okay for you He'll help you achieve it! If you can't you should not despair, but go on to do whatever you can.

Love,
