One
One tear breaks the dam,
And out flows a river of sorrow.
One smile makes a connection,
And a life-long friendship is born.
One second of indiscretion,
And something precious is stolen.
One look that two strangers share,
And love begins to bloom.
One laugh shared among family,
And memories are made.
One moment of inattention,
And so many lives are shattered.
One person speaks up,
And the whole world changes.
One: it's not just the loneliest number.
