A Passion for the World

I entered the poem contest on the King County Library System website. I call it A Passion for the World. They are announcing the winner on June 1st. Wish me luck! :) Tell me what you think of my poem.

A Passion for the World

Zee R. 

Sometimes I sit and think,

This life is all a blur.

I’ll miss it if I blink.

I’ve thought a lot

And I’ve thought hard

What can I do to make my mark?

I want to be remembered

For something so much greater.

Passion, love or mercy.  But

Not just a one-time deal, no.

I want to make a lasting difference.

I refuse to stand here in comfort

When someone somewhere is freezing.

I’ll do something to help that

Child who’s barely breathing.

For the woman not able to feed her children,

Or the man who barely makes enough.

The dying people cry for help,

But no one comes to save.

One day I will help them.

One day I’ll be brave.
