You’ve Made a Difference in My Life

 

Many fail to grasp the importance

Of being a mentor, an inspiration to someone else

Displaying love, compassion and concern

Many fail to recognize its true healing power

So many are preoccupied with minute issues

Walking blindly through life

Failing to see the plight of others, the masses

Easily persuaded by world views and behaviors

Many people thoughts are contaminated and poisoned

By a degradative and immoral society

 We’ve all created

 

But I can honestly say

 

That you’ve made a difference in my life

 

You’ve touched my soul with your kindness and generosity

You’ve inspired me with your presence

You’ve taught me humility and understanding

Through suffering

 

I’m now putting forth a valiant effort

to be less judgmental of others

To be less of this world yet still reside in it

 

And I want you to know

 

You have truly made a difference in my life

 

When enthused about life and living

You are there

When depressed and need uplifting

You are there

When alone in my thoughts

 And contemplating many things

You are there

When feeling sad and hopeless

No friends or family to assist in my despair

You are there

When money is scarce

And life seems a bit unfair

Still, You are there

And I just want to say

That you’ve made a difference in my life
