It could have been the most miniscule part of your day
But through the eyes of another, their life could change.
Whether it is talking with a lonely person, or sitting with someone who is sad,
You never really know the impact you will have.
So, maintain an awareness of others
While fumbling throughout your day,
Because in some cases, you may never be able to take your influence away.
Five minutes with a piece of your heart shining through.
What could five minutes mean to you?
