Significant Insignificance

One thought upon the smaller things that came upon his path

those parts sometimes invisible yet mindful aftermath

Appearance less significant to onlookers they be

their value insignificant because they stand petite

And gaze upon their bantam size with marvel and respect

when once be known the value of their quantum real connect

The ants they play their master part, the hyrax feeble too

yet gather food and forge their homes 'pon rocks or fields abloom

Those locust bugs with tiny wings do fly with yet no lead

by bands they soar throughout the sky and sail where they find need

And spiders too they have their lot, by hands they spin their web

and find reside in palace homes where kings do flow and ebb

And chigger ticks that bring a bite that leads to Lyme's death door

or yellow breasted swallow fowls soft chirps to be adored

The letter “I” hath value too and thus doth have the “a”

which though one consonant be true without words change their way

For pain be pin and pin be pn without the “a” or “i”

and brain be bran and bran be brn if both be out of line

And think of pin that fastens hinge that hangs on swinging door

without the pin that be in hinge might fall upon the floor

Or key for lock for safety shield without would not let in

or mighty wheel that might not stay without a cotter pin

A nail to hold a binding tight or picture on a wall

or flipping switch to turn on light o'er ceiling rising tall

And people too might feel too small for one to note or see

with quiet work and faithful tasks be all that they can be

Twas two small mites from widow's hands that caught the master's eye

and caused His comment much the more than all that did pass by

But none to fret when realize the value built within

Creator's love hath made thee thus such benefit to Him

So tiny purpose thought so small as tiny bolts or ants

those rivets holding airplane wings or hitchballs hauling camps

The hyrax, locusts, spiders too and people feeling small

the one who gave them purposes gives notice to them all

“Tis I” says He, the one who be Creator of all things

“that made thee small this way for me” my pleasure do you bring
