Changing the Things I Can


Saddened by the events

that encompass the world today

lost in misplaced thoughts

of times in disarray


There is an irresistible urge to

hide and pout

thinking there are no answers

no way out


Changing my perception

looking for the pot of gold

perhaps there are answers

from ways of old


Picking up a bag

going for a walk

giving items to the homeless

taking time to talk


Joining with others

solving issues where we can

changes slowly being made

across the land


Listening to the birds sing

dancing in the rain

respecting the land

so much to gain


Mood lifts while choosing

small ways to fight the strife

each day is a little better

embracing the abundance of life
