Thought provoking piece. Despite all the bad in this world, I see hope in young volunteers helping hurricane stricken areas and inner city kids. With faith and courage, we can change the face of the world one person and one day at a time. Best wishes with your writing. Karen

Hi Brandy... reading your poems... and they are the outcries of a caring and beautiful heart.. ( this one in particular ) ... in the end there is only one life you can be responsible for and that is your own... only one life you can truly love, before you love another's life... your own.. the world is a strange and confusing place.. seemingly devoid of love sometimes..but never forget.. your love and your heart make this place a better place... :)

Brandy, the world has so many ills. Peace and growth come one step at a time as individuals think and learn to love the differences in others. Very nice thoughts have been conveyed with your poem. Keep writing. Lovingly, Dane Ann
