Six billion hearts to touch

Six billion souls to reach

Six billions spirits seeking

Six billion minds to teach

I want to help these people
And heal their broken hearts,
I want to change their lives
But I’m not sure where to start—

They need to know that Someone
Has come to set them free,
That He’s giving us life
And life more
     Abundantly.

So how shall I start?
Since I have a gift in rhyme
I shall start changing the world
One
     Word
          At
               A
                    Time.

Listening to every heart

Ben, that is the only way. I came into Passions hoping that my poetry would be read by one person...and in that reading, that they could experience something good.

I wanted to touch one person.

Just like you are doing.

I commend you for that, because Sir? You will end up doing just that, touching one, after another, after another...

and that, Sir, is a Good Thing!

I love the point you made. There are people out there that have noone that needs someone. I enjoyed this read.

Sunshine,

That is exactly how I feel. I want to touch the hearts of others, and there is only one way to do it - one word at a time. Thank you for replying.

Poe_Pot_Pie,

Thank you. This is the first poem I ever tried to play around with the format, and I

enjoyed
        it
           very
                much!

the_loner_23,

Everyone needs someone who cares, and there are so many people who are lost. My dream is to touch them with my poetry. Thanks for replying
