But how much influence do I have, does any ONE person have? No matter how much I care, or how passionate I am, the world is still a sad place... Sometimes it's discouraging to think about.

Angie, your poem is well written but SO sad.
Life is full of crap and tears and frustration... but as low as it gets, there are also times of pure joy and awe. It's up to each of us which we choose to focus on. Everyone has some power... with their friends, family, and associates. Just mention running away to a remote spot and see how many beg you to stay! You may be only one, but you're a wonderful loving one. And that love grows and spreads to all who come in contact with you. It's people like you who make us ALL want to be better and do better! The world IS a better place simply because you're in it.

Tink,

That was beautifully said!

Angie, your poem is so touching. Your compassion and caring come through so clearly.

Your beautiful energy is felt by everyone you meet. Don't ever think that doesn't change the world.

Aww, Tink, that is such an encouraging post. You brought tears to my eyes. Thank you (and everyone who commented) for such sweet thoughts and encouragement. I do hope that something I do will make a difference... I want to be the voice for compassion. I hope others can see it in me and that it will impact them so that they will pass it along. I see so many without compassion and it breaks my heart.

I also see the joy. Thanks for reminding me to constantly be looking for it. (I'll keep the song "What a wonderful world" in mind!)

Great poem girl, well written! You've got talent. I like writing poetry too...haven't been writing too much in the past few years but I started back recently. I've found that whenever you get an idea, write it down asap b/c you never know when the right words will just come together, like this poem. I'm glad you posted it!
