A Drop In the Bucket

I spoke to God the other day Wanting to hear what he had to say My ask What is my task Why am I here at all Every winter, spring, summer and fall The reply is always the same Make a difference in a life regardless of their name But how can I do this When my life has been far from bliss Why me I express again Erstwhile checking if I am sane For I am but one from many a billion Some who have many a million What makes me different from the rest Uniquely qualified for this quest A drop in the bucket is how I feel Far from someone who can make this real The answer is always a surprise One I forget and have oft to re-surmise No deed no matter how small Counts equal to them all It may make someone’s moment Or cause them to lament That they too have been heaven sent To be the treasure they were meant Each rain drop adds to the lake This we should never forsake Andreas Simic©
