Be the one

Be the hand of a hopeful stranger,
the one that reaches out when it’s hard.
Be the smile that elicits another,
the one that spreads kindness all around.

Be the light in the stormy darkness,
the one that leads the lost to be found.
Be the tree swaying in the wind,
the one that stands up through it all.

Be the space in a comfortable silence,
the one that allows a moment to be.
Be the tune that lifts the spirit,
the one that beats in all of our hearts.

Be the change that you want to see,
the one that shows us to be strong.
Be the path that others can follow,
the one that connects us to the world.
