[hometext] => 'Cause no one life is less important than any other... We are all different... yet one in the same... All bound by our lonely hearts and our hidden shame... Just remember... the life you save... may be your own... comments appreciated...
[bodytext] => You know... I have seen love... genuine love... shown here today Because someone cared enough... to go out of their way To let others know of a life... about to unfold... with a tip of a knife A life that was thought to be in a crisis Someone had the decency to stand up and let another's story be told... Despite the pain that they themselves are going through They cared enough about someone else... someone besides themselves The flip side to this... is another sad... sad story... though How it turned into a war of words Over a simple concern It became... in a sense... a politician's platform Full of hot air and complete with mudslinging galore I saw no evidence of love... no compassion in the words shown From those who responded to the need Just empty... idle... hollow words were thrown about... you see Tossed to and fro... as if the life that was a concern... didn't matter anymore And people wonder... why this old world... is the way it is... And it's these same people who sit in their fine homes... drive their fancy cars... and claim to be professionals... God fearing Christians... they proclaim! Open your blind eyes... people... take a good... long... hard look around If you can see passed your own noses to the ground? I'm not saying... I'm a better person... than you Heaven knows... I'm just a poor... lowly sinner too! Who has fallen short of God's glory... like all the rest And come judgement day... like you... will have to pass God's ultimate test I know... I can go to my Heavenly Father... and ask for His forgiveness And share the simple love with others that He has so freely given It's a compassionate... unconditional love... Deeply rooted inside of me... Somewhere... deep within my heart For all those that be... Hurting... bleeding... stumbling... dying... in the darkness of their lives My one and only wish... my one and only dream Is to help as many as I can... from the darkness of life... into the warm... golden glow of God's light And be there by their sides... When they're afraid to cross that line Be there to encourage then and offer a shoulder to cry on In their anguish... pain or rage Be there to help them be able to turn... another of life's page In the history book of their lives Call me a bleeding heart... Call me what you will... I am only doing my part... In God's master plan... Doing His will It's how I've been raised... It's what I've been taught To share the one item God gave me so freely To love... Simply love one another It's so sad... that everyone can't feel Love for one another the way God intended To always show... that life is always worth living... No matter how far one may get down 'Cause no one life is less important than any other We are all different... yet one in the same All bound by our lonely hearts and our hidden shame Just remember... the life you save... may be your own To simply share what is buried deep within our hearts An eternal flame that flickers through all the darkness... the sadness... the pain Every night and every day To light our darken... our dreary pathways All anyone ever needs... is to... Love... simply love one another [comments] => 3 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 21 [informant] => kidpoet_213 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 6 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
