HOW FAR WILL ONE VOICE GO
When it comes to spreading love throughout the world
I like to think I’ve made that choice…
but I often wonder if I’m succeeding
after all…I’m just one voice.
But then I remind myself how an oak tree begins as one acorn
at first a little small and underrated…
but from that one acorn a tree is born
add more acorns and a forest is created.
A tiny seed is planted…
safe and secure in it’s underground room.
but from that one seed a flower grows
add more seeds and a whole garden begins bloom.
Every acorn contributes to the creation of a forest.
From each seed a flower then a garden is grown.
The tallest pyramids all began …with the laying of one stone.
So when I think I’m only one small voice…
perhaps I need a change of attitude…
because my one voice…when joined by others becomes a multitude.
So with my one voice I will do my best to spread love
because I never know
once my voice is joined by other voices…
how far that love will go.
