Just One

Just One How much change could just one make? What would it cost, what would it take? Would you pass some time along? Maybe help just one who’s path is wrong. Would you want or even dare to try? Maybe dry one tear from just one eye? There are many thoughts and many views. Could you look around and find the clues? It could be a stranger just down the street. A brother or sister you’ve yet to meet. A son or daughter, a mom or dad. They might share a pain that you once had. Could just one change the world, yes or no. How far would you be willing to go? Could you follow your heart, leaving no deed undone? Maybe this change, could start with just one.

It begins with one. One good deed, one kind gesture, and serves as a model to be followed. I like what you did with this one, Mark.
