The Smallest Life

The Smallest Life

The smallest life
A life no less
A beating heart and will to live

The smallest voice
Can not call out
Cannot be heard above the crowd

The smallest hand
A final plea
A longing for simplicity 

The smallest pain
A pain no less
A feeling of unwelcomeness

The smallest heart
A heart stood still 
Falls silent in the evening chill 

The smallest love
A love unwon 
Now floats toward the setting sun
