One Act


The Butterfly Effect.

One act of kindness

From one person a day

Could save a life.

 

A couple years from now,

Someone may look back 

At the act you did for them

and smile.

 

If every person

Would put in the effort

To make one

Act of kindness a day.

 

It could tip the tables

Maybe the world

Would grow gentle

Seeing it's people give.

 

It would not fix all problems

But the Butterfly Effect 

Is on our side

You see.

 

One small action

Even the flapping 

Of a butterflies wings

Can change the world.

 

So go out

And promise to do

At least one act

Of kindness.

 

Let go of your anger.

Let go of your sadness.

Watch your troubles fly

Like a butterfly.

 

It won't happen 

Immediately, but it will

And when it does

It will be great.
