Power of One

NafisaSB

One sun spreads millions of rays
One God, the whole Universe, rules
one road leads to many path-ways
one  wise is found in the kingdom of fools.

One tree produces hundreds of flowers
One day contains 24 hours
one farm has got innumerable bowers
one ruler exercises innumerable powers

one sky covers the whole of the earth
one person – Mother – is capable of giving birth
one thing – curtness – is sure to hurt
one room can accumulate much dust and dirt.

One thing – Smile – is sure to spread
One thing – laughter – is good to behold
One thing –death – is that which we dread
The one thing – death – that leaves us all cold.

One doctor can cure lots of men
One nurse, can alone, for the whole ward, care
One saint can transform even a 100 men
One can do much, if you have the will to care.

                  Oh, Safina, I've always believed that we underestimate our own ability to make a difference. I've seen seemingly insignificant acts of kindness change someone's entire day. Thank you for this reminder, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                    Agree with you. We always underestimate the power of one 💐

                    When that little boy put his finger in the dam, it showed the strengh humans held.
                    Sometimes we just don't realise how powerful we are.
                    In saying that, I did miss the goal from 3 feet, so I'm not putting myself forward for the accolade.

                    • NafisaSB

                      Exactly 👍if one small boy can save a city , imagine the good things that can happen if more people were able to act positively on time 👌💐
