You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)

If I climbed the highest mountain,
Swam across the widest sea,
Possibly would you then,
Begin to believe in me?

If I found the cure to cancer,
Or created a great invention,
Finally would you have faith,
In all my good intentions?

If I stopped the hungry from starving,
And gave strength to all the weak,
Maybe then would you listen,
To all the words I speak?

If you simply made a difference,
In one life or two,
I promise I would be proud,
Because I already believe in you...

© Eveliz V., Bayamon, Puerto Rico

The author's comments:
Just the frustration of being ignored and put down inspired me to write this poem... why can't people just have faith in others dreams, hopes, and intentions... come on have a lil faith

i loved it! but i especially love how your poems rhyme (although they don't have to in order to be good) without the rhymes seeming forced. Lots of times that happens because people try and stay with a rhyming pattern, but it ends up destroying their piece. keep it up!

Amazing! I believe in you! Great job! Don't let anyone tell you you can't do anything because you most certainly can! I feel like people don't care about me or can hear me sometimes too. The world isn't always a nice place to be, but always smile!

I agree with you bluemagnet22! People should keep their comments to themselves if they are mean! Great job! Don't let mean comments stop you from writing. Snookums is probably just jealous of you.

I love the idea of a double meaning...that is the beauty of poetry...it can be translated to fit in anyone life...I'm a Christian also n had never thought of it as God speaking to us...thank you for  showing that to me:)
