More Than A Dozing Ox

A candle is a small thing. 
But one candle can light another.
And see how its own light increases, 
as a candle gives its flame to the other.
You are such a light.

Pause, dear friend
A moment take,
A single breath
for goodness' sake.

Let logic guide
let kindness bloom,
A tiny shift can
chase away gloom.



The heart, a compass
True and bold,
Leads us to acts
More precious than gold.

A listening ear
A helping hand,
A ripple spreading
Across the land.

We, average folk
With votes and care,
Can mend the world
By burdens shared.

No grand pronouncements,
just a smile,
Together building
Mile by mile.
