Contemplate

At times I sit and comtemplate
Can we change or is it to late
Can we take back things we said
Show love and compassion instead
Can we try not to critize
Bring tears to someone else's eyes
Can we learn to give our all
And be the first to make the call
Can we take back all that pain
We caused for our own gain
Can we love not compromise
Learn to be loving and wise
Can our souls unite as one
Just feel love for everyone
Can we make this a better place
For the whole human race
Sometimes I sit and contemplate
Thoughts of love, no time for hate

I enjoyed this and the flow on the whole was very good but just a wee bit lumpy in places ie, lines 5 and 6 just put in 'someone else's eyes and it rounds it out try reading it aloud and you may see what I mean xx

Very contemplative, the answer is yes! Well worth taking time to think about. Well written.
