The power of change


If I had the power, I would help a baby bird to fly. I would teach it how to use its wings. I would catch it if it fell. I would make it believe in itself. If I had the power, I would help the mother on minimum wage. I would help her with her resume. I would encourage her to find a better paying job. I would proudly look at her when she succeeds. If I had the power, I would make myself invisible. I would be the force that made people look twice before they crossed the road. I would scare the crows away from the field. I would be a secret protector. If I had the power, I would go to afganhistan and end the war. I would bring the soilders back to their families. I would reunite kids with their mothers. I would help them get back on track. If I had the power, I would make college free in America. I would give more people the opportunity to study. I would help them reach their goals. If I had the power, I would change the way I look at myself. I would make people around me believe I loved myself. I would give an impression of assertiveness.
