New Favorite Poem

Two weeks ago my older sister, Cheryl, gave a talk in her singles ward on Patriotism. Mom, Faith, and I went to listen to it. In her talk she read this poem, which I really enjoyed, so I thought I would share it with y'all.
 
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 begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey,
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will 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!
