A Little Drop Poem by Jim Yerman

A beach cannot be created
without each single grain of sand.
Without each single speck of dirt
we'd have no place to stand.

The oceans, seas and rivers wouldn't be possible
without each single drop of rain.
We could not breathe without each drop of air,
could not eat without each grain…

A book cannot be written
without the letters to form words…
Without the individual musical notes
no song would ever be heard…

And so I wonder…

If for a drop, a speck, a grain or a note
this happens to be true…
imagine what one drop of kindness
has the capacity to do.
