In My Own Small Way

I am not schooled in prose and verse.
I am not refined in high society and etiquette.
I am not wisened in theology, philosophy and psychology.
I am not elegant in dance, music and art.
I am not worldly in travel and diplomacy.

BUT

In my own small way
I am the comforting arms to someone who needs a hug
I am the hand that wipes away the tears of a frightened child
I am the words that soothe an aching heart
I am the hand that lifts a spoon to feed a hungry mouth
I am the hand that wraps a blanket around a cold, shivering body.
I am the mouth that sends a prayer to God for one in need of help.

In My Own Small Way, I am what YOU need me to be right now.

In My Own Small Way, I love YOU.

In My Own Small Way, I care about YOU.

In My Own Small Way, I need YOU to know that YOU are not alone.

I can do a little bit and slowly

and a little bit and slowly gradually adds up to a lot and fast

and

In My Own Small and YOUR own small way

Together WE can make a HUGE difference.
