One note can sow a song
One seed a huge tree
One tree can start the woods
One bee can herald the spring.
One lamp can remove darkness
One beam can light a dungeon
One slogan can spark a movement
One idea can change the world.
One star can guide the boat
One spark can burn a moat
One flower can fill the room
One song can lift the spirit.
One smile can win the soul
One word can change your role
One handshake can begin a friendship
One goal can win the game.
One pat can lift the mood
One sight can kill the might
One comma can change the meaning
One vote can change the state.
One step can take to zenith
One flight can change flying
One drop can feed the seed
One breath can be a prayer.
One laugh can overcome sadness
One hope can lead to impossible
One touch can show concern
One heart can tell the truth.
One minute can change the times
One man can change the world
One mind can alter ‘forever’
One can make all the difference.
Who is the one, it’s You.
