...at a luncheon. She gave a very impassioned speech about the current state of affairs and how women's voices are not adequately represented in the leadership of this country. She finished with this poem (for which she did not know the author) and I thought it was very moving:
One song can spark a moment One flower can wake a 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 One thought can frame a 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 a difference One person just like you.

The woman absolutely glows with passion and inspiration and wisdom. I was taking tickets at the check-in table for the event and before she went in, she came walking over to the table where we were sitting to greet us and tell us how much she appreciated all those that worked to make the event happen. What a beautiful lady!!!

I see that poem at the link you gave, but it still says "Author Unknown" below it.
