Just the Little Things

What do I do to take care of this planet? Nothing too spectacular. I just save lives, every day.

Every hand I shake, every smile I make could prevent a suicide. Every small favor I do could prevent an act of violence, or an act of terror. Every time I wash my hands I could prevent a disease from killing thousands. Every tree I plant can preserve water supplies for millions. Every word I say could change one mind...which could change another.

Of course, I don't work solo. I can save one life, but it takes a lot of individuals to save an entire world. It's sad though, how many don't realize how much they can change their circumstances. Some don't even care; I call those people villians. I guess I care. I guess that makes me a hero.

I could wear  a cape I suppose, but I wouldn't tell you that over coffee, now would I?
