Minute Changes

To change just one frown
 
fill one stomache
 
is all I can try to do.
 
To give one blanket
 
for one warm night
 
or one clean pair of pants.
 
To save one dog
 
or one sick child
 
a life in both respects.
 
To make just one sad person smile
 
I need not be a sun;
 
a candle will do to brighten the room.
 
If we all shine as just one small flame
 
we'll ignite the hearts of all.
