Just one

by Kooshal Dhunnoo   Jun 25, 2013


One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring. One smile begins a 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 a room
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom. One step must start each journey.
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our 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,
You see, it's up to you!

    Lovely inspiration here! I like your repetition of "one" to emphasis the reality that it's in the little things we do and witness around us that can lift our spirits up. I love the journey of this piece, there were many life perspectives and I found myself nodding my head to many of them, I'm definitely a believer of one life making a difference...even though it may not be instant or be a major change, over time the truth can be known and shared and sometimes that in itself is the sweetest revelation.

    Beautiful and simple, it is up to us, and I feel like we all need this reminder once in a while not to get discouraged. To not take for granted the small reasons we live or the actions we take, everything adds up.

    Keep writing!
