Finished a job in Dorado,
Got up early to catch the plane in old San Juan.
With a rental car
and the time running down,
caught in traffic.
The clock ran down,
Hundreds of cars in the tropical morning light.
Drive a little,
Stop a lot.
Passing the reason for the snarl,
a single car,
unmoving in the middle lane.
The driver sitting behind the wheel, alone and waiting.
And as I passed I realized this simple truth,
that one person can make a difference.
10 years ago and I never forgot this lesson.
