A Ray Of Sunshine

From the heart of a seed

Dropped close to a wall

Grew a pale green plant

So slim and tall.

Nourished by the raindrops

Kissed by the daily sun

It formed a tiny bud

Yes there was only one.

Crowds passed by it every day

But no one ever noticed

The plant that was hidden away.

But one day a man

So feeble and old

Noticed the bloom

Of the brightest gold.

He plucked the flower

In its first hour of life

And took it home

To his ailing wife.

It was the one bright spot

In that shabby room

That seemed to chase

Away all the gloom.

And so we must

In our own humble way

Make at least one bright spot

In someone else's day.
