"Compelled to Make a Difference " by Gabrielle Terzian
"Compelled to Make a Difference " by Gabrielle Terzian
I write, compelled to make a difference
To start, continue, and perhaps
Pass on a better world
Though many have come before me
And will come after us
I am anchored to the present
Knowing it’s my step. And yours
Forged out of will, obligation.
Compassion
I’m not asking you to change tomorrow
Perhaps
I’m asking You to change Today
