Transforming Hearts

Location

What would I change?

Oh how vast that question is.

There is no limit to the problems in our world.

If I were to pick one,

Another would rise up and take its place.

But that doesn't give us an excuse to not try,

For if we don't, suffering will be endless.

Any life we save,

Any life we change,

Any life we benefit,

Makes a world of a difference.

Suffering often times comes from those around us,

But that can only be changed in the heart.

A transformation of the heart must take place.

Imagine a kind world,

No abortion,

No genocides,

No wars.

That is when suffering will end.

When kindness dominates thoughts, minds, and actions of individuals.

So what is it I would change?

I would change the hearts of nations.
