Let Me Be that Swallow

The Russians say that the first swallow of spring won’t make the weather for the whole season, but it can mark the turn toward a warmer climate. I tried to be that swallow. ~ John Denver

I have something the whole world needs,
or at least a major part. Yet folks
will never hear unless I set the message out
for one and all to see. A Super Bowl ad?
I’m a few million short. A quarter Houston
paper page, three thousand – each!
A single billboard, just one month, 2K.
I can’t buy success, can’t work hard enough —
there’s just one me. All I can do is be willing,
do my best, and let God run all the show.
