How can I make a difference? How can I make a change? When I overcome doubt in myself. When I push through the darkness or despondency in my heart. When I reach out beyond myself and connect with another person. This is how the spark of hope ignites. It is here where an ever-youthful spirit can be found, where new possibilities open up and transformation starts.
