I f given the chance, would you proceed
To affest someones life, to plant the seed
To nourish it as it grows
Though the work may be hard and slow

Someday, sometime the effort will become true
Someday, sometime they will know the effort came from you!

To a certain degree, Jonathon, I think that's why we're all here -- keeping the ideals alive that through presenting the "tools" of our poems, others may be inspired to try them out in their lives and make a positive difference on our planet.  You can't change someone, but you may be able to inspire them to change for themselves, and THAT is where the power and responsibilities lie.

a lovely desire

it is my hope that some of the things I do, do make a difference in someone's life, whether they recall the origin or not

let my life matter in the scheme of things, O God
