It just takes one to stand their ground,
determined to do right,
and ripples spread throughout the pond
in waves of white-capped light.
As breakers swell, and furrows fold,
the undulating tide
will mark the places where the brave
laid comfort-zones aside.

What are you doing to make your world a better place? It just takes one…
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Love the shot, and the words make it even better.
Thank you! It’s very satisfying to capture something worthwhile, isn’t it?
Melody – on the occasion of being on the heels of Remembrance Day – what a powerful tribute. Thank-you!
Thanks! There is so much to be inspired by in the heroic acts of the past – may we be brave in the present, to create a better future!
Ha! I see you changed your header! I hate cold and snow and ice, but in a picture it looks great! I like this too!
Thanks, Julie. It has been white pretty consistently for the past month, so I thought it fitting to make my blog ‘match’… Winter is my least favourite, so I am on a mission to find all the glory I can in it while I wait for spring! 🙂
Perfect poem for a perfect picture! And truly inspiring…
Blessings ~ Wendy
Thank you Wendy!
Love prairie winters, but can do without … the cold!
I’m with you on that! Our sparkling snow is lovely for playtime – not so lovely for the extremities or driving with… 😦
Well, I show up for my blog job everyday, and pray I can touch, lift a few hearts. God bless you Big, Melody–love, Caddo
Indeed – it just takes one, and when you’re Caddo, one leaves some mighty big tracks to fill! (That’s a compliment, y’all…)
Oh thank you for the chuckle–you are so sweet and generous to me!! (y’all)
Cool, wintry look on the blog. A fitting poetic tribute to those whose lives of courageous self-giving are poetry.
Thanks Rob! Thought I’d make the my interior blog life match the exterior winterscape… What a great thought, that one’s life can be poetry. Can I borrow that? I think there is a poem in it somewhere… 🙂
Might use it myself as well. Go for it! My wife tells me I do my best writing in off-the-cuff Facebook remarks. Unsure what to make of that. Hmmm.
I’ve felt that a few times in making a comment – should I be taking notes or something?? ha ha I guess if it’s in you, it’s in you – off the cuff or on the cuff. (Whatever that means..)
Indubitably, my good woman. Indubitably.
Thank you for inspiring us in such a poetic way, to do what we can! God bless you!
Thanks Debbie!
