Friday Tale - Be That One One  s ong can spark a moment, One flower can wake the dream.   One tree can start a forest, One bird can herald spring.   One smile begins a friendship, One handclasp lifts a soul.   One star can guide a ship at sea, One word can frame the goal.   One vote can change a nation, One sunbeam lights a room.   One candle wipes out darkness, One laugh will conquer gloom.   One step must start each journey, One word must start each prayer.   One hope will raise our spirits, One touch can show you care.   One voice can speak with wisdom, One heart can know what's true.   One life can make the difference, Be that ONE today . ~ Unknown O ne who is gracious to a poor man lends to the LORD and He will repay him for his good deed. ~ Proverbs 19:17
