Premium Member If We Work Together We Can Make a Difference

International Earth day prompts us not to forget
that the world we inhabit is under great threat
Blue oceans are being choked by plastic pollution
reduce, reuse and recycle is the simple solution

The balance of nature has been upset by man
species close to extinction, poachers strike if they can
If we don’t act quickly these rare breeds we’ll lose
their only protection is in nature reserves or zoos

Felling the rain forest is an issue we must combat
deforestation is destroying animal’s natural habitat
The effects of global warming on earth is far reaching
reducing fossil fuels is what we should be preaching


Educating both young and old is the key to success
we must act together to try to sort out earth’s mess

Premium Member What A Difference A Day Makes

What a difference a day makes
It's always special
Spending time with you
You makes it that way
Together playing
Or when we snuggle

What a difference a day makes
Spending time with you
You do make a differences
Not just in a day
Spending time with you

When you awaken
Me different hours
I just return to sleep
Till six o'clock
Feeding you breakfast
filling your bowl with 
dry food
Covering you warm

Then I grind my coffee
beans
For a fresh cup of coffee
Expresso coffee
To waken me
Then have my breakfast
To begin my day

A Difference  © Trisha Sugarek

to have eyes
is one thing
to see, 
is quite another

to have ears is
normal
to listen,
an art form

to have a heart
is a necessity
to have heart,
glorious 

to have two hands
ordinary
to have helping hands,
magnificent

to love someone,
some thing,
is nice
to love selflessly,
a miracle

to have self-awareness
essential
to have a soul
superb


The Difference In the Ism

Capitalism -
Is every man screwing everyone else.
But communism -
On the other hand, is just the reverse.

Premium Member The Difference Between You and Me

You hug and slug me
You hot and cold me
You love and loathe me
You calm and craze me
You feed and starve me
You kiss and hiss me
You heal and hurt me
You praise and raze me
You fill and kill me

I hug and tug you
I heat and hot you
I love and live you
I calm and psalm you
I feed and fill you
I kiss and miss you
I heal and feel you
I praise and raise you
I fill and thrill you

See the Difference?

Premium Member What a Difference Your Love Makes

Really?
Sure
Why?
Because you smile?
Only a smile?
No, no because you dance
So I dance and this is love?
Yes Yes!!!! Now you see!!!!
I don’t see at all, I dance so what?

Ah but you dance with a smile
You dance with such style
You dance for your lover, you dance for the dead
You dance with the passion of mercy, for those who bled

Well I do dance indeed there be no denying
Ah but your smile, is the infection that spreads
The Ebola of love that brings life to the dead
Do not ask me how I do know
I see it in your eyes and the smile from the skies
Makes me cry, before I die, I gotta say tiss true
What a difference your love makes

Premium Member Faith In God Makes a Difference

Commitments are hard
                                        Time is swift and life is short
                                              Misfortunes happen
                                      Faith in God makes a difference
                                         Times will pass much easier

The Difference of Distance


The difference between adult and a dolt
is that one will stay the other bolt.

Difference

Picked a piece of ice 
Fell from the sky
Kept in the ice box
One…
To research

Picked a piece of ice
Fell from the sky
Kept in the ice box
Another…
To use

Consider this
Trying to make a difference
Instead of showing ignorance

Regardless of if we're able to relate
I'm willing to do what it takes
Instead of letting it all go to waste

No sense of entitlement
Just after enlightenment
And to help the environment
Even after retirement

Open to suggestions
In all directions
Paying attention
With much more than good intentions
Call it one form of self expression

One thing for certain and proven
I'm only human
Yet still trying to make my contribution
Near and far from fields of lupin

Premium Member Wars of Difference and Different Wars

Dream on man
War is constant
It has gone beyond
Catholic or Protestant

Religious wars
From our short lived past
Will never dilute
As long as we last

In this modern world
We fight for different reasons
What ever the excuse
And in any season

We fight over land
Imaginary WMD
Even over soccer
How the hell can that be

We now fight over oil
In a camouflaged war
Taking innocents with us
In public deplore

Guerrilla, assault
Bombing with precision 
We vote them in
As they twist their decisions

Dream on man
War has changed
Greed has taken over
From the pasts deranged

Making the Difference

Its full of crap this world in which we live
And it stinks
People get battered and bruised
And sometimes so do I
But wait
There’s a painting, there’s a song
If I would look with eyes that see
What the artist saw
And let the music move me
Then I’ll learn that laughter is allowed
That I’m not the victim
Behold the wonder in what’s created
There’s Life there
So I choose to love and to listen
To make the difference
Not to judge whoever, whenever for whatever
To open wide my heart in welcome
To all who would come
This is home and there’s room in here
To console the toddler in tears
And the teen with her fears
Choose to be gentle, to be kind
To affirm and encourage
Love the lost and lonely
Lift the desperate and those deprived of dignity
Catch an unhurried coffee with a friend
Believe that people try their best
Be grateful for it all
Not for recognition nor reward
But for the sake of Love
And love alone

Premium Member The Difference

A kitten with a delicate face
tiny,bright,and playful
formed a bond with my little granddaughter .
She blossomed into adulthood
becoming a fair mother
within a short period of months
but died in an accident.
I wondered and felt pain,
'What a stark difference between our lives !'
Her life was short,
and we have a long journey to go.
But in that brief moment 
of our shared life , our souls
connected beyond time's divide.

A Difference

I see girls send each other cards and cake,
Condolences or hugs, the sweetest rhymes,
Given as free as breath, to share or take,
True friendship’s memories of happy times.
  
How much is meant or lied I cannot guess,
But when men wish for kisses, ears to hear
Our dreams and heal our grief with tenderness,
We fail in finding ways to bring us near.

I see girls send each other cards and cake,
Men don’t. The very most that men will do
Is mock or give strong words. It’s our mistake
To hope the same old ways may bring us through.

Men still believe in strength, coping alone,
Deluded that a heart is made of stone.

Your Love Made the Difference

Jesus, Your love changed me
Your love made the difference
You loving me changed me
I’m not the same
I’ve been changed
I’m a new person
Changed from the inside out
Jesus, Your love changed me
Your love made the difference
You loving me changed me
I can pray for my enemies
I can turn the other cheek 
Jesus, Your love changed me
Your love made the difference
You loving me changed me
I can love, love unconditionally
I can bless those who curse me 
Although not always easy, I can do it
Yes, I can do it 
Jesus, Your love changed me
Your love made the difference
You loving me changed me
Changed me from the inside out
