One

One little flame
brightens up a cave.
One person makes a difference
for the good as well as the bad.
One nation
outlasting seventy others.
One G-d
created the world.
One mitzvah
leads to many more.
One moment
can change your life.
One spark
can engulf your neshamah
One jug of oil
can go beyond nature.
One smile
can cheer up a crowd.
One step at a time
can lead you up a flight of stairs.
One can accomplish
what many can not.
One by one
you can change the world.
One flame at a time
you can spread the light.


Happy Chanukah Everyone!
~Dovid Nissan Roetter
