______________________________________
JUST ONE

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 begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the 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, You see, it's up to you!

    Jack2 A young kampung man who worked in the city announced that he was going to be married.
    Everyone eagerly wanted a description of his fiancee - was she fair or dark, thin or fat, and so on.

    "She is not what you would say fat or thin, dark or fair," he replied. "But she is very complete!"

    Team A : Ong Tee Keat
    Team B : Chua Soi Lek
    Team C : Liow Tiong Lai
    Team D : Ong Ka Chuan

    Can anyone please make it "JUST ONE"?

    edward Dear MWS,

    I guess with what's been happening lately, doubts may creep into our mind as to the feasibility of real change happening. I just hope that the youth in our country will be enlightened enough to see the need for change. After all they will inherit this land in the future.

    I am much encouraged by the broad mindedness of young leaders our society had brought forth lately. Despite the many years of racial indoctrination and propaganda, we still see a good number of young people that are not taken in by such mind games. Although they are mainly in the opposition camp, I hope and pray that the they will assume national leadership one day.

    With your permission I would like to add some words from the song "One Voice" by Barry Manilow. As a young man once, I often find solace and inspiration from his songs especially the romantic ones haha. Thank you for all your effort to bring about enlightenment to everyone. Hopefully a change for the better can happen in this country of ours.

    "One Voice
    Would start it on its own,
    We need just One Voice facing the unknown,
    And then that One Voice would never be alone,
    It takes that One Voice."

    Cheers.

    Unknown Dear Edward

    Many thanks for the deep thoughts and observations that you have shared with us this morning. I always enjoy reading your comments which are usually expounded with much purity of heart and breadth in your perspective, not forgetting the note of hope that you always project.

    I love Barry Manilow's songs even though they are the soppy sentimental type and ONE VOICE is certainly different from his other compositions in terms of its underlying message. Did you know that Barry Manilow recorded it 40 times to get it right?

    Here's ONE VOICE
    specially dedicated to you and other readers. May we truly be united one day in one voice!!!

    Thanks for sharing! God bless you and yours always, Edward.

    Raymond Ong Tee Keat is no pushover. He is a no-nonsense man. He doesn't mince his words. A good orator and a wordsmith, he is no easy meat and is not going to be easy meat.
    1) He is not afraid of stones.
    2) He does not succumb to dictates.
    3) He is not afraid of muscles or bulldozers.
    4) He is known to have stood up to Umno leaders and will not kowtow to them.
    5) He has survived onslaughts.

    However, at the end of the day, this truly righteous and courageous man .....

    Well, your guess, please.

    A Arthur I just love this poem. Inspirational and appropriate in this moment of need.

    The 1Malaysia slogan by our dear PM is an excellent piece of PR, but the implementation of it leaves much to be desired.

    So on the flip side, our PM needs to be reminded of this century old poem too.:

    For want of a nail the shoe was lost,

    for want of a shoe the horse was lost,

    for want of a horse the knight was lost,

    for want of a knight the battle was lost.

    So it was a kingdom was lost - all for want of a nail.


    The one nail which our dear PM may lose his kingdom can be any issues. His strategic thinkers can figure that one out.

    My apology to this post if this comment is not appropriate here.

    Thank you again for great inspirational poems....
