'When I Tried To Save The World' Poem by Linda Winchell

I tried to save the world
If only one person at a time.
But had gotten so engrossed with it
I almost lost my cotton picken mind!

Now I tried to separate my feelings from facts
But no matter how hard I tried
I found myself always reverting back.
Back to the more difficult side.

Some folks were easier than others to reach
And then there were some who weren’t.
As I told them of God and Jesus
And Satan... Whose only Hell bent
To get one burnt!

Rejection at times was painful
But I knew where those folks were coming from.
Once there myself many years ago
When I felt sinning was so much fun.

I will keep on trying however
To save the world if only
One person at a time.
Because that’s what happened
When a child of Christ one day
Came to help me to save mine.
