The Little Things

One arrow in a quiver
A string in a tapestry
A letter to deliver
One word in a mystery.

A feather on a bird
A body's single cell
One person in the world
One stone upon a well.

A smaller part of everything
A smile in a room of frowns
One thing leads to bigger dreams
One up can fix all downs.

Don't take for granted those little things
They help to move life on
Whatever destiny may bring
The small things bring life's dawn.
