Just Dust

Shafts of sunlight Fill the room Brightening my day, Banishing gloom. Specks of dust Glittering in light; Almost nothingness, Nearly out of sight. A thin film Coats a golden scale, Despicable dust - Finger writes a trail. Of such we are made, From the simple earth Yet, how important, How much we are worth. The bully may feel You are nothing but dirt, A useless nobody, He piles on the hurt. It matters not What colour or hue, What’s important is That you are you. A special person, Of that you can trust; No, you’re not a nobody, You’re much more than dust.
