You May Be That One

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

One smile can bring forth a friendship,
One handclasp can lift a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam can light a room.
One candle can remove the darkness,
One laugh will surely conquer gloom.

One step is the start of a journey,
One word will start an ardent prayer.
One hope can lift the sagging spirit,
One touch can let another know you care.

One voice can speak truth and wisdom,
One heart can know what is really true.
One life can make the difference,
You may be that one, it’s all up to you.
