Look Closer

We are all looking-
To the sky, to the people.
 Well- now it's time for you to look down, that is where all the real wonders are hidden.
Down from the grass, and soil and even deeper still, our core.
 Look- the small worm crawling, look- the tiny ant at your feet, basically superman.
You see- the world down here is just as important, just as beautiful, and most needed.
 If you didn't have this world down here- up there would be no world worth living. 
Next time you stand- staring into the stars, remember how us little, forgettable creatures, have made your planet, one in a million.
