The Power of One

a poem by Mabel Annie Chacko

One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake a dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.

One smile can begin friendship,
One prayer can free a soul,
One star can guide a ship at nigh,
One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam can light a room,
One candle can wipe out darkness,
One laugh conquers 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 out wisdom,
One heart can know what’s true,
One life can make the difference,
You see, it’s up to you!
