No man is an island.  No man stands alone.

Each man’s life touches others,

Even if it goes unknown.

Each life affects the life of others

Be they friends, sisters or brothers.

It may be a positive affect or it may be heartache.

But each life has its impact on those who are near.

He could be a source of great joy or heartbreak

To those who hold him dear.

So it is best that we live our lives with this in mind.

The reason for this is a wonderful fact.

If you search your soul you will surely find

That you derive great joy with each kind act.

Upon the lives of others, you will have a positive impact.
