Small...... Yet Big

Even a wayside weed can ignite Greater passion in the heart Than a well potted garden plant At the centre of a tastefully landscaped plot Even a child’s prank can be more hilarious Than all the cranky jokes of an acclaimed comedian Even in the warble of a lonesome bird There can be more flooding melody Than in the well tuned violin of a music maestro There can be greater poetry in a simple ditty Than in all the lines of verse in a great epic A tear drop may contain greater salinity Than all the waters of a great ocean Perhaps a simple nod of head or a wink of the eye Communicates much more than a whole bunch of words I don’t know why I love the dainty flowers of May More than perhaps the exotic lotus of the day Don’t we love the homemade fare served with love More than all the delectable cuisines of a posh restaurant The small things of life thus, Prove much bigger than big things Just as the joy of life is not always ruined by fatal errors But by the recurrence of injurious little things, Greatness is achieved not through momentous actions But by the little things done in a great way
