One thought starts a dream,

One smile sooths the soul,

One good deed starts a flame

One word can change a heart.

 

To the dreamer who's dream-

Has expanded my nation,

To the dreamer who's dream-

Has kept me safe and my home strong.

 

To the kind who's kindness-

Has given me hope,

To the kind who's kindness-

Has given me strength to stand.

 

To the doer who's actions-

Have given me courage,

To the doer who's actions-

Have shown me the best I can be.

 

To the wise who's wisdom-

Is beyond their years

To the wise who's wisdom-

Has kept me from the fate of fools.

 

Where's inspiration?

In trees and rivers?

In creatures and weather?

No, but people far and wide.

 

The people I have met,

And the people I have seen,

In my encounters,

There is insperation in every one.

 

One thought starts a dream,

One smile soothes the soul,

One good deed starts a flame,

One word can change a heart.

 

One life can find the good wherever they be.
