    A Small Thing

     A Small Thing

    It was such a small thing that drifted in a newborn's sigh 
    A very small thread that caught the needle's eye
    It sowed fields of corn  a moments harvest stands untorn
    Did you see the fields of rye looking as you passed by

    A hunger speaks to the world a thirst is all around
    The life that holds the power of fertile ground
    A silver light lifts to a rumbling sound
    Rain of Tears fall by the pound

    Lightning thunder fill the scene to make the grasslands green
    A dabble of ancient babble intice the yielding land
    While hopes and light offers a helpful hand
    Deeds of blight will not stand

    Yes it was a small thing indeed when the needle sowed the seed 
    Now stands the seamstress to clean the fields of tarnish greed
    So shine on the shoulders of justice and repair
    Breathe the quality of untainted air, find the bounty of life everywhere 
    Shake the hand of care a small thing grows beyond compare

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
