WHAT  WOULD  IT  TAKE?

 

What would it take to get a standing ovation?

What would it be like to get one – a “Yes!” vote?

Do we all have a gift – a talent – an ability

that could take the house down or do we

have to practice, practice, practice?

Does every person we go by, sit next to

on the train or plane deserve recognition

for their contributions to life on this planet?

People claim to be pro life – yet they yawn,

not listen, and pick up the paper when another

walks onto the stage called “Life!” No! No! No!

Don’t fail to clap for the other. Yes! Yes! Yes!
