I Am One of Many (a poem for trouble times)

I am one of many children all around the globe,

I am one of many people living happily in my abode.

I am one of many who want peace,

I am one of many who want this violence to cease.

I am one of many who believe in love,

I am one of many who find it from God above.

In trouble times we seek to blame,

But as one of many, I don’t play that game.

I am one of many who look to change

Things that look bad or may seem strange.

I am one of many who care to fight,

With only my heart and words that are right.

I am one of many that pray for a difference,

To change this tolerant temperament.

I am one of many, who are you?

I am one of many praying to see it through!

1 Timothy 2:14

Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God’s presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them.

Philippians 1:27

Above all, you must live as citizens of heaven, conducting yourselves in a manner worthy of the Good News about Christ.
