A Narrow Window
A narrow window may let in the light,
A tiny star dispel the gloom of night,
A little deed a mighty wrong set right.
A rose, abloom, may make a desert fair,
A single cloud may darken all the air,
A spark may kindle ruin and despair.
A smile, and there may be an end to strife;
A look of love, and Hate may sheathe the knife;
A word-ah, it may be a word of life!
