I would..if I could

I cannot feed multitudes with
a few loaves of fishes, but I
would if I could

I cannot still the tempest with
the wave of my hand, but I
would if I could

I cannot draw great masses with
my words, but I would if I could

I cannot give back to you all this world
has taken, but I would if I could

I cannot heal your broken heart, but
I would if I could

I cannot give you my faith in God's love,
but I would if I could-

Ty madtat.. Everyone must work out their own
salvation..without force or intimidation from
anyone. Anything less is not of God.

Hi Cafe
The beauty of your words... is your mind..and thoughts behind your inspiring poem.

You Give Faith In Human Kindness...Now How Wonderful Is That.

Really loved reading.

Ty rapture..I believe the heart is the light of
the mind, and the mind..the light of God.
Thanks dear.teddybear

The mere willingness to do all these things speaks volumes of your all embracing heart, dear poet. If only you could mend one broken heart a one happy person would be brought to this world. Give it a try - it's in your power. The same is true for all of us. Kindest regards!hug

Ty marikia..We must touch those within our reach
and the flavor of kindness, may attract hungry souls
may compell the wayward to cease hostilities and
come to the feast of love.kiss

I wish I could go from I would if I could to I can and I will! That we would feel pretty awesome. Speaking of fish, I'm going to celebrate the Lenten holiday and have two fish sandwiches from McDonald's. Now if Jesus could turn a few fish and loaves of bread into fish sandwiches, that we be an awesome miracle!innocent smitten daydream good luck irish

I'm not a 'bible person' yet I remember John 14:12
I don't know what was exactly meant or not meant by that

but I do know or feel your nature...
It seems to me that continous acts of great beauty will be born from your heart's love, desire, and connections purple heart

I cannot heal your broken heart, but
I would if I could

Jim you can. You might underestimate your ability so much but it is very clear and possible that you can. I am sure.

Of course, this is between you and the one you love. Based on my own experience, Only my man can heal my broken heart. And when it is mended and healed, what a paradise that is.

But just being you Jim, creates a light that beams towards enlightening and healing to all of us.

Thsnks so much for being you. We are blessed just being around you.

Sincerely,

Phyllis bouquet gift cheers hug

Ty trurorob.. I think most poets here share the same
sentiments..Thanks bro.

Ty smmerwind..Gracious praise indeed oh
maiden. It would thrill me to death if anyone
would be helped, or lead to the truth of God
by anything I've written. My poem speaks in
more or less general terms, and the whole
'I would if I could' concept is my way of
constrasting mans ability compared to his
creators, yet not leaving out the fact and
duty of mans personal responsibility to
his neighbor.
cafetwo2010
Ty mcradloff..You make a valid point bro. And yes, I can
make you a fish sandwich..and I will. Lol'

My first time reading this lovely poem
I cannot say I knew Cafe before he passed away but I can say I he seemed to have been a decent, caring, guy with a good heart whose poetry is still blessing others on here.
My heart goes out to all his loved ones and friends including those on here whom evidently miss him greatly.
