Sometimes…One


Sometimes it takes 
only one—
one pair of eyes 
to see the truth—
one pair of ears 
to hear the screams

sometimes it takes
just one pair of hands 
to cradle a face,
to wipe away tears 

only one pair of arms 
to be held in—
and one pair of lips 
to heal the wounds

and sometimes it takes 
just one feeling 
to awaken the soul — 
one voice to say… enough—
and one thought
to start a revolution

and sometimes, it takes
just one candle
to dispel the darkness 
just one candle— 
yes, just one candle…just one 

now go light your one candle!
