If Only My Wish Would Come True

I often wonder where this world is headed,
from social media to all the chaos.
We hear about the good old days,
they had problems but not like ours.
To turn back the hands on the clock,
what would we really find.
There was pain and war in those days,
along with sickness and sadness.
This world is getting crazier with each passing day,
what is meant to be will be.
For me,
I wish I could make a change.
A change that others would see,
and make them make a change.
If we can help others and give love,
it may not change the world.
My wish,
if only I could help one at a time.
That may make a small change for some,
and a big change for others.
Why not wish with me,
just give it a try.

Congratulations on your meaningful poem! (There was a man who asked God to remove hurricanes, to remove hurricanes is to remove hot air, cold air, and water). Let's help others as you wish and show God we care. I too wish this! ooxx

I do think you are correct "what would we really find." is often what we forget we also had.

Many people would wish for fortune or fame. Yours is a selfless wish that can make a big change, one person at a time.
