And Millions More

a pebble in the ocean
  grain of sand on the shore
an ant on the sidewalk
  and millions more

baby in a bassinet
  or in a high chair
gently placed in a car seat
  tender loving care

some say life's without meaning
  speeding by in a trice
shh! mom and baby are snuggling
  so lovely, so nice

The expression of love is what we are all about. The rest is just distraction. Great write! Short but a world of knowledge.
