CONNECTING THE DOTS

One stare to spark attraction
One smile to ignite infatuation  
One beat to spark a dance
One flower to create a garden
One tree to start a forest
One bird to herald the spring
				
				                                It takes

One kindness to begin a friendship
One helping hand to lift a soul
One star to guide a drifting ship
One word to frame a lifetime goal.

One good deed to fight evil
One sunbeam to light a room
One candle to dispel darkness
One moonlight to conquer gloom.

Once choice to change destiny
One decision to redirect the way
One door to open unpredicted future
One thought to shape a cloudy day. 

				                                 It takes
One word to start a conflict
One spark to start a flame
One hatred left unchallenged
Can bring a world to shame.
                                                                   Because,

One step must start each journey
One word must start each prayer
One hope will raise your spirit
One touch will show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom
One conscience can know what's true
One life can make the difference

...And that one life is, certainly, yours.
