I found this poem on a website thought it was uplifting.
It's Up to You
One song can spark a moment One flower can wake the dream. One tree can start a forest, One bird can herald spring. One smile can bring 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 wipe out darkness, One laugh can conquer gloom. One step must start each journey, One word must start each prayer, One hope can raise our spirits, One touch can show you care. One voice can speak with wisdom, One heart can know what's true, One life can make the difference, You see... it's up to you! ~ Author Unknown ~

It is indeed very uplifting.....and a breath of fresh air for me this morning! It made me listen and feel what is around me this morning. I can hear the doves cooing outside and the birds singing all around. They are having a happy morning and so am I!!!
Hi (((Angeleyes))) thank you so much for sharing this. To me the poem is very relevant to my committment to recover from the effects of living with alcoholism. "One life can make the difference, You see...it's up to you." That's 'Let it begin with me' in program-speak. After all recovery is one step at a time, one day at a time.
