June 30 - Leap Second Time Adjustment Day
On June 30 some years a leap second is added to the most precise clocks in the world. Why? Think of leap year, when we add an extra day to keep our human calendars aligned with the solar year. A leap second involves adding an extra second to keep our human clocks aligned with the solar day. So what can you do with your extra second today? Maybe this poem that’s been making its away around the internet can inspire you.
One second…
One second to take a life
One second to break a heart
One second to lose your grip
One second to fall apart
One second to raise a smile
One second to lessen strife
One second to strengthen faith
One second to save a life
One second to make it work
One second to stop a fight
One second to make a friend
One second to put things right
One second to understand
One second to reach and touch
One second to tolerate
One second can mean so much
