Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Making It a Whole Lot Better

What can one do for this world?
I mean me! I've nothing to give
among this great big world so full
so much needs to be met as I live

Get one's mind into action to work
think deep to what you can do
making it a whole lot better
maybe then it'll prove you true

Think of the good things one can do
so many people that need great aid
look outside your circle and see
so many poor souls feel so afraid

Raise up the love that lies within
show it to those across the street
give a helping hand to someone
move yourself using your two feet

Don't just criticise all that's bad
show love and sympathy doing good
even a smile could make one's day
then someone will have understood

(I have written this on how one can make our world a better place!!!!)

Judy Ball August 4, 2020 at 1:33 PM I've heard it said over and over that you can't help them all but you can make it better one person or one animal at a time. Just reach out to the ones that come your way. Then you have done what you can. I feed hungry animals and help those I can. If I find a person in need I help them. I do what I can. One at a time. Great write Gordon. Remind us to think. God Bless, JB Gordon Mcconnell August 4, 2020 at 1:56 PM Hi Judy, Glad you loved it and agree with your sentiments. Hope you're doing ok, take care and God bless. Keep safe, Gordon

Carolyn Devonshire August 4, 2020 at 10:15 AM Our world certainly needs help now, Gordon. Indeed, something as simple as a smile can lift another's spirits. Also, you make a difference to readers when you write about the current needs. Very well penned. The poem makes me want to do more to help others. Hugs, Carolyn Gordon Mcconnell August 4, 2020 at 10:59 AM Thanks Carolyn, glad you liked it and made you think of helping others. Trust all is well and keeping safe, Blessings and hugs, Gordon
