SMALL THINGS
GROW
Buds come first;
then, leaves, you know!
The mist before the rain!
And saplings into trees did grow;
The raindrops, seas again!
The nesting first,
and then, the bird;
The seed and then the flower!
The sweetest tunes we ever heard
Were tones that grew in power!
A step you walked,
and then the mile;
Lived day by day a year!
Your tiny thoughts become a smile;
Your wish made deeds appear!
Things don't stay
small; no more will you;
When others tease, just smile!
Just work and grow both big and true,
Until you've grown worth while!
