One Heart Poem by Jim Yerman

When the seas around us are choppy
when the times ahead are tough…
If I can make one heart a little brighter
then I have done enough.

Because if I make one person smile
If I brighten one person's day
There's a good chance they will take that smile
and send it on it's way.

Eventually that one smile
will find its way to you
then you will take that smile
and brighten one heart too.

For we know even in our darkest times
like being quarantined by the flu…
sometimes brightening one heart
is all that we can do.

Which is why I repeat when the seas around us are choppy
When the times ahead are tough
If we all can make one heart a little brighter
then we have done enough.
