It's Up to You by Unknown Author
One song can spark a moment
One flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.
One smile can bring a friendship,
One handclasp can lift a soul,
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.
One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam can light a room,
One candle can wipe out darkness,
One laugh can conquer gloom.
One step must start each journey,
One word must start each prayer,
One hope can 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 the difference,
You see. it's up to you.

I guess this poem is inspirational, but I mean if you need to look to a poem for inspiration you are probably already screwed up enough that the poem is not going to help. This poem is about how one person can make a difference. The poem does this through extreme repetition. The author starts  every line with the same word. About two lines in I got bored and skipped to the end. Not a very good job writing if you ask me.
