Impact

​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 begins a friendship;
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea;
One word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation;
One sundlbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness;
One laugh can conquer gloom
One step can start a journey;
One word can start a prayer.
One hope can raise our spirits;
One touch can show you care.
One voice can speak with wisdom;
One heart can know what’s true.
One life can make a difference;
You see… it’s up to you.

I was reading my Devotion one night and found this poem in it. I thought the poem was so simplistic, yet it holds a powerful message. In some cases all it takes is one person to make an impact and it could be anywhere. Make someone smile. Give a hug. Pray for someone. I learned that when you invest in another person you give yourself a gift, because you can’t light their path without brightening your own.

I wanna take it a step further and ask this: What if everyone does their part and be the change in their environment? You don’t have to be the next Martin Luther King or Malcolm X. You can just be YOU: no one else, but you.

(I wish I knew the author. I’ve looked everywhere and had no luck.)

Anyways, I wanted to share this poem with you all and hopefully I inspired someone. Plus, I wanted to prevent a very long post on my social medias *lol* In closing, I wanna leave you with this – In the words of KendallKyndall on Instagram, “Now go and be great!”

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS POEM? WHAT DID YOU GET OUT OF IT? LETS BEGIN A CONVERSATION! I’D LOVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING 😊

Thanks for taking the time to read this post! Be on the look out for the next blog post. Check out my latest blog post HERE.

I didn’t update the Music Monday purposefully. I’m being picky this week. I don’t know what I wanna put out there yet.

Anywho, take care!
