Little Isn't Little

Little light in darkness compensates vision.

Little breeze in summer caress the skin.

Just a little flame could create warmth.

And a drop of water could cool the heat.

 

Simple sorry could end a great war.

Simple smile could bring reconciliation.

Simple embrace could warmth the heart,

As a sweet imagination would make men fly.

 

A pinch of salt could change the taste,

A flinch of thought could heal the pain.

A clinch of love could save the day,

Like an handful of help could make men great.

Author's Note

I don't think anything is too little to be neglected. No matter how little it might be, I don't think it's really little because it has the tendency of making a change.

What do you think?

I think you make a great point Kay because a little, a tad, a sliver or whatever you want to call it marks a change in thinking. It can be the start of moving mountains. I very much enjoyed this lovely poem and the importance of its meaning. Great work.
