Colour of My Heart

Free will has become like greedy hunger,
              each choice bestows selfish avidity.
Teaching benevolence when they're younger
        may make life devoid of voracity.

          Let’s lead a path to a will that redeems
all the kindness existence can provide.
                For life is never as bad as it seems,
          there are always good people by your side.

I shall educate those who need guidance.
              Be a beacon of compassionate grace.
Let’s hope the world can offer reliance,
    making God’s splendid earth a peaceful place.  

    Please take my hand and show faith in the Lord-
                             so that we all may live in true accord.

Couldn't agree more that our free will has been abused and finds us neglecting the needs of others. I admire your faith, Lu. During this Christmas season I'm seeing more people reaching out to help others, but that's something we need throughout the entire year. Congratulations on your win in Brian's contest, Carolyn
