Look Inside

If you took a tender tear...and held it oh so near What would you see inside? A meal less man with a reaching hand With haunting hurts stretching oh so wide If you held a broken heart...and tore it all apart What would you see inside? A wounded woman with venomous vermin With all the abuse she will nest and hide If you saw a fragile frown...and smashed it to the ground What would you see inside? A cheated child within the wild From cribs to jail cells with hands now tied If I hand a magic wand...quickly I would respond To heal the world with just a swirl All within one stride... If I captured your stellar soul...and had a peek thru heavens hole What would I see inside? July.16.2016 If I could change the world - Poetry Contest By Becca Teagan
