I thought i’d call to you and talk awhile,
I’m sitting here alone, I’ve been thinking.
What can i do to make this world a better place,
Let go of anger and sometimes terrible thoughts.
Do not waste this time that I’ve been given,
Smile and say hello to a passerby.
Lend a hand to a less fortunate soul,
Put a little trust in man, this I’ve been told.
Do not take a life, be there for a friend,
Teach a child right from wrong.
Love as much as you can, hate is not a gift in hand,
Do not steal or act in violence,
I’ve been thinking god, I just needed you to listen.

Nice poem. Thanks for following my blog. I read on your Gravitator profile that you know a lot about plants, and like Springsteen. I am an avid gardener, who has learned as I planted, and my husband’s favorite singer is Springsteen (I also love him.) Seems we have things in common.

Hi, Glad you visited my blog, so that I could read this amazing poem. Be well, Laur
Richly positive and inspiring Keith. Others could do so well to embrace your words, your philosophy.
Absolutely, if I find a new blog–or it finds me–from a “man of many thoughts” the very first post I must read is the one called “I’ve been thinking.” Thanks for stopping by my blog–and for sharing yours! I’m enjoying it.
Wise words. Love and compassion go a long way toward making our world a better place. Thanks for visiting my blog. I’m new at this blogging business and am enjoying the opportunity to connect with so many amazing people. Blessings.
Thanks for the follow. I appreciate it. And nice poems. Best of luck as you compose more of them!
When the student is ready, a master shall appear. Beautiful writing.
As William Wordsworth wrote:
“The best portion of a good man’s life: his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love.”
Thanks for signing up to my blog Actonbooks.com.
It’s mostly about the small stuff of history that might also be called ‘little nameless acts’. Occasionally I go off piste into politics and such, but that doesn’t make me a bad person.
I have always found thinking gets me into trouble–I stopped doing it years ago! :O)
Thank you for following my blog! All the best to you.
Think: “Never be the source of anyone’s misfortune and never pass up opportunity to perform a charitable act.”
Said it before and will say it again–thinking gets you in trouble-just do it!
