Best Make A Difference Poems
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

If we all just did it if we all just chose , if we all rose to the occasion if we all just know.
If we all came together if we all felt the pain, if we all knew it was happening we could all stop this from happening again.
You know what I speak of, you know what I mean, the reason we are fighting, this world is so unclean.
All this hate that we generate, this life that we made, is full of nothing but mistakes.
But we know no better, at least that's what we tell ourselves each sitting alone, foolishness filling them shelves.
The unhappiness, the racism, the bullying, the rage, that fact that we can't get along.
We are all put on this earth for one purpose and that's to belong.
But still we choose the wars, the wealth, the lying, and the path that is full of misconceptions and full of unnecessary reaction
It's time to stop all the ******** in the world with governments taking peoples things, it's time to stand up and take action.
But most won't why because we are all afraid, even though we sit at home dying while filling up full of rage.
Our minds are all so trained to accept life for the way it is, that we don't realize what's being taken away from us at a moments notice.
So I say to you look deep down inside, take one last look at your life and let's go for a ride.
Together united is the only way that this will pass, together as one we need to be kick the governments ass.
See there is one thing that they do not know, that we as a people are strong but its something we don't show.
For if we did the powers to be, would have no power at all they would be just like you, just like me.
Now that election results are in
Did anyone you voted for win?
Why does it matter ?
Asked the Mad Hatter..
Provocateurs they have all been...
For Carolyn's contest...
our memories shared, showed me how struggles, shaped your life.
On days, I needed answers, your smile said, “Ok, let’s do erase your strife.”’
Upstairs or downstairs, you knew the perfect place to go to share.
My days became brighter, when you took time to ‘care’.
Always available and ready, we’d ‘go round the block’, finding new things to explore.
Kind words, strong words lovingly voiced took me inside your strong inner core.
Enamored with bits and pieces from your stories, I feel energy lifting my decline.
Although exchanges are short, over time your influence aligns my design.
Do you know how hearing grace on Sundays, resounds in me when someone sings?
Imagine a world united ‘in grace’, where anyone can accomplish many great things!
Favorite things I have heard… ‘Chocolate cake’ being one… sits at the top of your list!
Fun days don’t last forever! So each exit is always sealed with hugs and being kissed.
Enthralled with special moments, includes our silent times after an unknown fact!
Recall how silence lingers in odd times, as if an answer might not be exact?
Eternally, you’ll be known for your brand of simple love you always show.
Now, each day I decree: YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE! That’s a true fact that we do know!
Certainly, I thank God, every day - I am who I am and just one who’s been touched.
Every life is important. And you made my life count. It’s you who gave me much!
You don't have to be a doctor or a lawyer or a successful
business woman or man...
All it requires is a decision to take a stand.
You can make a big difference wherever you are...
Just humble yourself and pray for those near and far.
A neighbor, a loved one or someone you don't know...
Just pray for people wherever you go.
Maybe you'll see a difference in a life in a day or two...
When you pray for someone there is eternal significance
in what you do.
So make a difference and just commit to pray...
And your prayers will make a difference in someones
life today.
Family or foe they all need who you know...
That's what makes praying so exciting wherever you go.
You may be sowing seeds that others might reap...
This is one of Jesus' commands that's easy to keep.
So make that decision and take that stand...
Pray for that doctor, that lawyer or that successful business
woman or man.

Life is brief
Relief yourself from grief
But believe
Share my flair
Declare always in prayer
And care to dare
Either in thick or thin darkness, DARE to make a difference!
In hopefulness or hopelessness, DARE to have hope my friend!
In pain or gain, DARE to smile my friend!
In grace or grass, DARE to be grateful my friend!
Dare to make positive difference
Dare to help others feel great
Dare to live great in this generation
Dare to do great in this generation
And generations to come shall remember you DARED!
When you see someone suffering and in pain
Don't dismiss what you can change
Just a "hey" or "are you ok?"Can
truly change their day
The chaos in this world today
makes it hard for us to find
Our own way
Folks are living in grief and lost
In life
Stricken with dispare and strife
One thing we can do as people
With a heart
We can make a small difference
From the start
Pay it forward in a way that you
Can
Be it woman, child or man
Say a prayer as you lay to
Rest
GOD could be putting us to
The test

We need to encourage each other and not hate on each other
We need to embrace each other and try not to race against each other
We need to uplift each other and try not to create a rift between each other
We need to give advice to each other and try not to sell vice to each other
We need to believe in each other and try not to deceive each other
We need to calm the tide and try not to let our political differences dictate our ride
Lord, help me to make a difference
in someone’s life today
And to preach Jesus in what I do and say…
Help me to make a difference in this world
that surrounds me
What you have done in my life
continues to astound me!
Help me to make a difference
in the hearts of men.
That I may show others what it
means to be BORN AGAIN!
Help me to make a difference in
my prayer life too
As I want to daily be
in LOVE WITH YOU!
Help me to make a difference in the
reading of your word.
May I share your scripture to the
many who’ve never heard!
Help me to make a difference in the
life you’ve given to me…
I once was blind. But now CAN SEE!
Help me make a difference
wherever I may go.
As your Holy Spirit teaches
and enriches my soul!
YOU are the difference to a world
that’s perishing…
YOU offer true love…And life that’s everlasting!
YOU are the reason why I keep on going.
This life you’ve given to me… I am enjoying!
…
You have made a difference
in my sinful condition
You’ve changed my life! I’m a NEW creation!
By Jim Pemberton
Awaken me, Lord.
Open my ears that I may hear the voices,
Of those wo cry out for help.
Let me not be deaf to their pleas,
Lest they perish, because I would not hear.
Awaken me, Lord,
That I might make a difference.
Open my eyes that I may see those who suffer.
Let me not be blind to their needs,
Lest they perish because I would not see.
Awaken me, Lord.
Clear my mind that I may undersrtand the plight,
Of those who cannot help themselves.
Let me not be ignorant in my comfort,
Lest they perish because I was thoughtless.
Awaken me, Lord.
Open my heart that I may truly feel,
For all who suffer and have need.
Let me not be cold and unfeeling,
Lest they perish because I would not care.
Awaken me, Lord.
Loose my hands that I may reach out,
To those for whom You have suffered and died.
Let me not be lazy, or fearful of what others might think,
Lest they perish because I would not reach out.
Amen
Once when I was out walking I heard a dog screaming in agony begging to be let inside out of the cold. I just laughed to myself saying to myself that the dog was acting like she was dying out there. I paid her no mind sense the dog wasn't mine.
Later when I passed by again all was quiet. I figured the owner had let her in.
The owner wasn't home.
They went to school and to work forgetting the dog was still outside.
She Froze To Death And I Could Have Helped Her If Only I Had Cared Enough To JUST GO CHECK IT OUT BUT I FEARED WHAT THE OWNERS WOULD THINK OF ME STICKING MY NOSE IN WHERE IT DIDN'T BELONG.
Just because it's an animal that doesn't mean they don't matter or "don't feel pain like we do". Pain is pain and it HURTS. They feel it like we do they just can't tell us because they can't speak our language but they speak in every other way if we will just listen.
That dog died in agony because I didn't listen and her owners FORGOT ABOUT HER.
Lord, help me to make a difference
in someone’s life today
And to preach Jesus in what I do and say…
Help me to make a
difference in this world
that surrounds me
What you have done in my life
continues to astound me!

Ascending toward triumph-pinnacles
We tread circumspectly along life’s race
Optimizing God’s wondrous love and grace
Overcoming temptation tentacles.
Trekking upward mountainous faith-venture
We're replenished fully midst fatigue-bouts
To vanquish distracting doubts’ whereabouts
And prevail beyond weariness’ torture.
Pressing forward by Sovereign guidance
Defying fall and frustrations’ anguish
Serenely, we hope never to languish
While reaching others with care’s abundance.
Marching onward though sorely afflicted
Doing what’s right is still our best insight
Pursuing to walk by faith, not by sight
Pleasing the Lord Who has us protected.
Pushing backward the awful negatives
We step ahead, bouncing with revival
Persevering for work-fruits’ arrival
As admonished with service directives.
Setting sideward personal interest
We seek first our Master and His kingdom*
Blessed with heavenly, servants’ heart-wisdom
We** spread Gospel, granting souls’ genuine rest.
*Matthew 6:33 “…seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness…”
**My spiritual response to the lyrics of "With You and I"

beach buddies conceived
Beach Buddies is a charity set up by a man called Bill Dale, he organises regular beach cleaning events and companies sponsor huge orange litter bins so our beaches can be cleaned up. Our beaches are now the cleanest they've been in the last 30 years. The charity has been asked to help set up other beach cleaning groups in UK and Italy and is also spreading the message by giving presentation to universities in the USA

A kind word spoken each day
can help the lost find their way
back to the fold of love and peace
back to the joy that God unleashed.
A kind word spoken once or twice
can make the difference in one's life
It can guide them through their troubled times
It can heal their wounds and confused mind.
A kind word spoken to those whom are sad
can change their outlook and make them glad
It can turn their frown into a smile
It can help them through any trial.
A kind word spoken from the heart
can help one make a brand new start
It can help them see things more clearly
It will help them believe God loves them dearly.
A kind word is sent from me to you
This is what God wants us to do.
