Poem

ONE

Sean Farrell

One song can spark a moment,One tree can start a forest,One smile can begin a friendship,One star can guide a ship at sea,One vote can change a nation,One sunbeam can light a room,One candle can wipe out darkness,One laugh can conquer gloom,One step can start a journey,One hope can raise our spirits,One touch can show you care,One heart can know what's true,One life can make the difference.

A psalm of summer

By Roselyn G. Paul
