Baby Steps

I strive to be different
I listen to others, who all talk the same
The weather, the wars, the cost of living, the failings of love and life
I strive to be different

I look back and have achieved little
I wish to change my path
To explore a different way
I am, indeed, on that path

I notice a change in my thinking
I don't get bogged down with 'world events'
I share my laughter and love in my small space
I notice the change

My heart is open in my walled, but special garden
I give and then give some more
I see the effect on my special people
They are my treasures, oh my, do I love

We all can change the way of the world
We can focus on  just one foot from our hand
Do not seek to change the world by thinking 'global'
Seek to make the difference in your tiny space
