We often strive for an answer to the many things
we don't understand
We look around us and wonder why things seem
out of hand
Prejudice, hate, and ignorance seem to fill our
world with pain
Why our attention and focus is on the bad in
our world I just can not explain
Distrust, hurt, and anger have become a way of
life
What a ludicrous thought it is that we gain pleasure
from others strife
The golden rule has been thrown out and altruism
cast aside
But I believe its all a cover up for the love
and hope inside
These things that we treasure most, we've all
learned how to hide
Because once we were hurt when we took a risk,
so now we protect our pride
Its time we change the way....
our world is today
To make our future a place where each of us can
say...
I love the world we live in, and I know
tomorrow can be
A place where people of all walks of life can
be themselves and feel free
Lets spend our time and energy to build a bright
tomorrow
Foster kindness, compassion, caring and
rid our world of sorrow
The message here is simple....
Don't wait for someone else to change what
you can start today
You can make our world a better place in a very
special way
Break down the walls that separate, and
I think you'll find
Its such a nicer place to be, when people around
us are kind.

.... make the effort to put something behind you,
forgive someone you have held a grudge against, contact someone you have
been avoiding because of something that happened but you wish things were
different with. Don't wait for someone else to make the move... it
may never happen and valuable time and friendship will be lost. Friends
and family are our most important treasure. Take the time to get
closer to someone you have been distant or judgmental about
....make a difference to someone today!
