One Person Can Make A Difference
Gwyneth Lewis, National Poet of Wales, composed a pledge for the national commemoration of Holocaust Memorial Day 2006. School children from across Wales took this pledge in line with the 2006 Theme: One Person Can Make a Difference.
The fight for justice starts and ends with me.
Truth is the sound of what I may say.
I can only be well when others are free
And right has a price I’m prepared to pay.
I refuse to be afraid
Of force or hatred.
I will pull their lies like weeds,
Plant gardens of more generous seeds.
If I turn my back and walk away
Who’ll ask for others what I want for me?
I can only be well when others are free
And right has a price I’m prepared to pay.
