Small Things
Ahon Ganguly
Sometimes, we see amazing things.
A sunset view from the breezy shore.
Moonlight reflecting off a shimmering lake.
These are all beautiful things, but now, take a breath, and look around you…
Maybe put your eyes on something you have never really bothered to look at.
The little things of life.
There are so many things around us to look at, to explore.
So many questions to ask about the world.
How, when, why?
As I am writing this, I look at my hand, and then my fingers.
The fingerprint: an endless maze of small intricate designs.
Unique for everyone.
Look at a leaf, gaze at its tiny patterns,
A path for microscopic creatures!
Small wonders are everywhere
All you have to do is look…
Little gestures: a merry smile by a stranger to brighten up your day.
Asking ‘how are you?’ to a familiar face.
Every emotion you show, or every word you say,
Small changes you make,
Changes people’s perceptions of you.
So in short, these tiny things that you do, build up you.
Little things make big things happen.
Think about it, a field needs millions of shards of grass.
And how tiny water droplets make an ocean.
Everything that you have today.
It was all created by a person, with a small idea…
Ready to serve a huge purpose.
So don’t define anything as small by looking at its size, volume, or shape!
Judge it by its impact.
Because only one match is needed to make an explosion.
Everything, no matter the size, was created to serve a purpose in this world.
Even a universe needs one atom to start growing.
