What Can I Do

What Can I Do

A Poem by Healing Star
"

It's Here, it's here, the Christmas Spirit has Returned.

"

What can I Do
What can I Do
What can I Do

For the man who must sleep on the Bench

For the baby who cries all Day

For the woman that has nothing to Share
with her babies at Night

Am I ashamed

Am I ashamed

Am I ashamed

For Not being Them

Can I see it in a different Way

Can I not give up before opening the Door

Can I believe in these Arms that I Have

What can I Do
What can I Do
What can I Do

For the people caught in the Struggle

For the people who have been bombed Out

For the children who are trampled Under

Am I Ashamed

Am I Ashamed

Am I Ashamed

For not being Them

What can I Do
What can I Do
What can I Do

Can I stop looking Away

Can I stop my addiction for Distraction

Can I focus my Intent to bring the Change

Am I Ashamed

Am I Ashamed

Am I Ashamed

For not being Them


Do I Believe
Do I Believe
Do I Believe

There is Hope for the Hopeless

That something can be Done

That I can plant a new Seed

Am I Ashamed

Am I Ashamed

Am I Ashamed

For not being Them

What can I Do
What can I Do
What can I Do

I will keep my Heart Open

I will look when the darkness rolls Past

I will weep for the Child who is left Alone

Am I Ashamed

Am I Ashamed

Am I Ashamed

For not being Them

My hands are here if you need Them

My roof offers protection for any one of You

My roots go deep and I'll ask them to feed You Too

Wash my Shame

Wash my Shame

Wash my Shame

Rise from the ashes you Phoenix growing Strong

Spread your wings mighty Eagle and carry us to a Brighter Day

I will Lift Ya

I will Gift Ya

I will Sift Ya

I will take you to my Palestine

And in my room we'll drink some Heavenly Wine

I will See You

I will Not turn Away

Where ever you Are

I will go There

And I will be There

Not be somewhere Else

Hey, my name is Gary 

I am pleased to meet You

Is there anything, anything at all that I can Do

And You my Friend

Will wash my Shame

You will wash my Shame

No longer living a life of Neglect

But each Day

A life of Intent

A life of Trust

A life of Meaning

A life of Being Present

This, this Beauty, is what I Can Do

I am a man who has finally realized he needs to write down what matters to him, that I might learn from myself, what is important, what I value. To capture who I am now, for that is all we have is no.. more..
