Little Things
Little drops of rain
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean,
And the pleasant land.
Thus, the little minutes,
Humble though they are,
Make the mighty ages
Of eternity.
This poem, in 30 words, has several inspirational meanings. It stresses the importance of living in the moment. It also tells us that even the most minor things we do are meaningful. All the little things we do throughout the day and our lives add to much bigger things. Thanking someone for opening a door for you, saying a kind word or two to the elderly couple at the grocery store, or picking up a few pieces of trash as you take a walk are all little things, but they can all add to bigger things. How can picking up a discarded piece of trash be meaningful? Just think, if we all took the time to pick up one or two pieces of trash, how much cleaner would our world be? Or, if you picked up one or two pieces of trash on your walk each day, think of the difference it would make over time. During this time of uncertainty and moving forward, let’s not forget to do the “Little Things still” because they will make a big difference.
