Can We Change @ MindSay

CHANGE

Change is warranted.

Change is needed.

Change is desired.

But so many don't care,

So many are lazy,

So many would rather

enjoy life's leisure.

How can we change

the direction we're heading,

if so few are willing

to help turn the wheel?

Who will risk

their personal comfort?

Many seek power

and glory and fame,

But who among them

has a clear vision,

or has given a thought

to the millions

and millions

of PEOPLE

whose lives hang in the balance,

Not just here,

but around this global home.

Who is NOT in it

for their own personal gain?

So I keep looking up,

I look to the hills

from whence comes my help,

as silly to some as that might seem.

Our hope's not in a

man, woman, or organization,

Nor a political regime or party,

All of these are corrupt

and Untrustworthy.

I look to the hills ...

And in the meantime,

Continue to be changed,

Hopefully, growing more

Others aware

and less selfish.

I can no longer live for others

How many times must I fall chasing what was never mine before I learn to stand still and simply be 

Starting over is scary, but the idea of making the same mistake over and over again is worse

So I am willing to change and throw everything into a better me

I am ready to build my world around my joy and my needs 

Today I lay claim to all the little pieces of me I gave away ....

D72/CJ I love you and your worth it!

Love me

 the only you there is

~ When I Wish Upon a Star ~

When I wish upon a star,
It's not to find out where we are,
It's not to learn what my day will hold,
It's not about money, or gems, or gold.

When I wish upon a star,
It's because I do know who we are,
I know what lifts and builds our hearts,
And I know what tears it all apart.

When I wish upon a star,
I sometimes think we've gone too far,
Too far away from kindness and caring,
Into a world of privacy and not daring

To be kind and caring to those we meet,
To those at work or those in the street,
Such sophistocation, such isolation.
Can we go back to a friendlier persuasion?

Can we see beyond our own fence,
And begin to use some common sense,
And realize the reasons for our global mess,
All start within our own defense?

Can we change our point of view,
And realize our neighbors are people too?
We're all the same down deep inside,
We all need faith, hope, and love to abide.
