I know that this doesn't speak of Jesus right out, but I believe that it reflects His teachings.  I hope you like it!

Would the world be different
if we looked at each other's
souls, rather than skin?
Would the world be different
if we embraced
our uniqueness, rather than laughed at it?
Would the world be different
if we smiled
at strangers, rather than frowned?
Would the world be different
if we gave each other a shoulder
to cry on, rather than a turned head?
Would the world be different
if everytime we looked into someone's eyes
we saw reflections of ourselves?
Would the world be different?


Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:3

Yes the world would be different if only...
thank God we have heaven to look forward to.
There we know we will have all you write of, and so much more.
I really like this poem, it's a reminder of how it could be, and will be one day, for those that know him.
Hugs,
Deb

I echo what the ones before me have said.  I too believe it would be much different and as Deb said, when it heaven, we know that all these things will be there in front of us.  Wonderful write.

Yes!!!! Your poem is very applicable for Christian  fundamentals....  We all need to get beyond the surface of a matter and look, as Jesus does, into the heart of a person and be a help to them as you have well expressed through your poem.  And, I do believe that the world would be different, perhaps even like Heaven on Earth?  Love ya, Bob <><

I love this beautiful poem! Don't you think that all it comes down to, is the ability to make just one persons world different at a time?  Ellie

Your poems are connecting with me... they leap from the screen and into my heart. I don't know you, but somehow you've given me hope... I'd gotten the impression that I was the only person who really cared just because I really care. If you can relate, thank you for being who you are.
