One second might not tell <br />When held against an hour <br />One hour might not count <br />When weighed against a day <br />One day may not matter <br />When considering a life <br /> <br />One word may mean little <br />From the conversation whole <br />One line may not be missed <br />When stricken from the book <br />One thought may be dismissed <br />In comprehension of the mind <br /> <br />One flaw might be overlooked <br />When evaluating character <br />One mistake means little <br />When summing up a man <br />One sin may be forgiven <br />In the judgement of a soul <br /> <br />So how is it a single glance <br />Can make one wither so?<br /><br />Mary Havran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-power-of-one-2/
