I’m just a small part
Of this world; I know,
And often I feel that’s
Too small a role
I can’t make a difference
I can’t create a change
What I do goes unnoticed,
What a shame!
“But wait a second,
You haven’t seen it all
Sometimes most benefit comes
From things that are small…
Imagine the nail that holds
Your clock on the wall
The nail wouldn’t be of use
If it hadn’t been that small
Ripples in water may
Start with a drop,
But those little waves travel
Afar and one seen a far
That fire destroyed that house,
Didn’t come from a bomb.
It came from a matchstick,
That is oh! so small.
Never underestimate
The role you play —
Don’t question your worth
Every single day.
You’ve been given that role
You’re here, not without a cause
Start using your strength
Don’t look at your flaws
Be the best you can be
Where you were put to be
That’s what the Lord expected
When He put you here, you see…”
