Poem

How Many People Does It Take to Make a Difference?
 

One.

One Song can spark a moment
One flower can wake a dream
One tree can start a forest
One bird can herald spring
One smile begins with friendship
One handclasp lifts a soul
One star can guide a ship at sea
One word can frame the goal
One vote can change a nation
One sunbeam lights up a room
One candle wipes out darkness
One laugh will conquer gloom
One step must start each journey
One word must start a prayer
One hope will raise your spirits
One touch can show you care
One voice can speak with wisdom
One heart can know what’s true
One life can make a difference

That difference starts with you.

Poem

Making a Difference

Can I say today in honesty
As the hours slip by so fast
That I’ve helped a single person
Of the many I have passed?

Did I waste the day or lose it
Was it well or properly spent
Did I leave a trail of kindness
Or moments of content?
 
As I close my eyes to slumber
I hope that God will say
“You have made the world a better place
By the way you lived today.”
