Notes About The Poem

If I Were President

I’d take time to listen to the people’s needs
And try to give them something to bring relief
I’d reach out with kindness, giving and peace
Wisdom that comes from God, who holds my strength
I’d answer our needs and foreign countries cries for help
Preparing hands to help them with things like feeding
The poor, the children, the ones who need so desperately
I’d find a way to stop the human trafficking and drugs
That give our downtrodden people the bondage I deplore
I’d awaken minds to the light that shines from God’s throne
When we take time to reach out to others with mercy
Giving back from hearts who know what it’s like to be dejected
Left with only the hopelessness that comes from failure
I’d find ways to help the ones who need help so desperately
With kindness, wisdom, hope, faith and love that lives
Inside each one who listens to God’s voice giving instruction
I’d listen to my heart when I made the decision to pray
To our Creator, the only One who can change the way
Things have taken over – greed, hatred and bitterness
Finally leaving all the worst in the past, where it can stay
Because together, with God’s light, we can find the sense
To live life with the hope, faith and love He shines deep within

Jennifer Proxenos February 10, 2021 at 11:23 AM You know if you were President you wouldl help those who feel alienated from society and who have been labelled, wonderful my friend - you so creatively have penned your strong feelings for what you would eagerly do, to help the poor the needy and helpless. Others forget, God is all knowing, you will be rewarded. Lovely write Gina dear friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Victor Buhagiar February 10, 2021 at 5:38 AM You have the right ideas, but I am sure the evil that surrounds us will put many bad spokes in your manifesto. Good luck with contest. ~~
