It Only Takes One

It only takes one word: ‘hello’
Only one smile to greet the world.

It only takes one kindness to suggest another
One hand up to offer some help. 

It only takes one act of genuine respect
One spontaneous welcome to open a heart.

It only takes one person to forgive
One thank you to accept such a gift.

It only takes one flower to brighten a room
One flower with many for a brilliant bouquet.

“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, 
but I can do something. And I will not let what 
I cannot do interfere with what I can do.”
~ Edward Everett Hale
