A Little World

I want to be the light to the blind
that shines as bright as the sun
so that they can see with their minds
the mountains, the hills, and the oceans

I want to be the voice to the deaf
that echoes as clear as the rain
so that they can hear with their hearts
the sound of music that lasts forever

I want to be the mother to the orphan
whose heart is as soft as the snow
so that they can find and realize
the love and warmth they can live with

God please give me the strength that I need
to give a little world to those
who have dreamt for it all their lives
so that they know how it feels
to have the beautiful world that I have

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
