This isn't really a poem
It's more of a comment


"For GOD so loved the world
that He gave his only begotten son.
That whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16


Still think one man can't make a difference?

Yes i believe any one man can make a difference.  A husaband to his wife, a father to his son,a man to his neighbour.  Any person man or woman, can make a difference to someone's life. All you need is love.

Marina,
That is exactly the point I was trying to make, but on a broader scale
Thought the ultimate sacrifice would be a perfect example

This is a really uplifting thought Jeffrey.  Makes me think of that story about the young boy who was trying to throw all the starfish back into the ocean...to save them.  The old man approached him, and basically told him he was wasting his time in doing so - and what did it matter if he saved a small handful of the hundreds on the shore....the little boy said, "Well, it matters to this one..." as he tossed one more stranded creature to the sea....

Thanks for reminding us how important that one man is...*one* can make a difference!
