~One Grain of Sand~
One grain of sand
Insignificant
Nearly invisible
Yet,
If every single grain of sand
Were not there
The ocean would have no place to run
The earth would have
No gentle transition
Before it fell Into the ocean…
There are those
Who see the beauty
Who know the irreplaceable measure
Of fields of sand
Who see her beauty
From beach to beach
Shore to shore
All distinct
All a shade
A color
Of their own
They offset the crashing waves
They are the frame
around the canvas…
and every visit brings a sweet dusting
of these wonderful grains
home…
where the beauty lives on…
And there are those
Who trudge through
Who never appreciate even one grain
But grind them under their heel…
Who find it more of an imposition
Than a blessing
Life is like the grain of sand
WE are like the grain of sand
All by ourselves, we matter very much
Because blended with others
We can change the world
There will always be those
Who will never see us
For what we are
Who will never appreciate us
Never find us a blessing
But for those
Whose souls are passionate
And deep
And see the meaning
And beauty
In everything around them
Who find value
In what others see as ordinary,
We have great significance.
Our nearly invisible existence
Has such incredible meaning
And purpose
Never forget
Every single grain of sand
Has its place.
