I Can't Change The World

Poem Artwork


I can't change the world
But I can make a difference in one
Person's life
When I see a lost little boy I can
Wipe his tears
Help him find his way home

I can't change the world
But I can make it better for
Someone in need. I can go to a
Nursing home or hospital..read to
The elderly...hold their hand..make
Them smile

I can't change the world..but
I can bring a hot meal to my neighbor
Who is sick and can't cook. I can bring
Flowers to a lonely widow...and hope
To the sick and depressed. I can give
A smile if I cannot give anything else

I can't change the world..but
I can bring a teddy bear to a small Child
Who's crying and alone. I can read them
a story and hug them. It may be the only
hug they have all day..or all week


I can't change the world...but I
Can still salute our great flag...pray For our
Soldiers...and our land. I can work now To
Make things better for our children and
Their children. I can teach them to Love
Not hate their fellowmen. That we are All equal

I can't change the world..but I can
Do my part. If everyone marches to the same
Drum....not to their own beat...then we Can
Change the world. If everyone can give LOVE..
And have COMPASSION and GENTLENESS..
YES, we can change the world...TOGETHER...

Strong in verse and very well constructed Linda. A joy to read. some people do try to change the world and still haven't checked themselves at the door. I've seen so many people out protesting the government and other issues but in there own home, there is turmoil. Which maybe the reason they're out playing the blame game. mL G

Linda, you answered your own questions in this one. By helping just one person you ARE changing the world. That little boy may be a future nobel peace prize winner, or a leader of his country. All because of one act of kindness from you. The greatest waves are born of the merest ripples !!

Oh Linda!!!!! This is a most wonderful poem you've written this morning. I happen to believe you can change the world, and you probably have just by writing this poem. If we all do our part, no matter how big or small, the world WILL get better. Thank you so much for this delightful message of hope on this Sunday morning. I love ya, Susan
