Small and maybe insignificant in size
Their presence takes a whole lot of courage to
endure
But we do all we can to ensure their safety
They take a whole lot of our time
And constantly, our hearts go out to them
They become our essence
And life becomes so incomplete without their
presence
So little they take the whole room
And so small they take the whole space.
Once they have arrived
Our prayers become that they stay
We become the least and they the most
Things begin to matter
And the little details become so important
The house needs to be clean
And their beds well made
We won’t accept mistakes from the sitters
And blame flies around as easy as an egg
The beginnings are very encompassing
Taking every bit of our time
Giving us less room to breathe
And a whole lot of mess to clean
Each day is an adventure
And each night we gather back lost strength
And free our minds from the much gathered tension
We yearn constantly for them
Never to be apart, always around
Not minding the constant shouting when a glass hits
the floor
Or when we suffer from their fun
But that makes the world go round
Imagine the world without their cries and laughter
Boring as gray and brown
But for something we are grateful
If for nothing, for their being……….
We can’t wait to go home
We can’t let anything stop us
Are you the man of the house?
And you stay away for so long?
No wonder you grow old so quick!
Maybe not in face
But deep inside, where everything that matters dwell
Your soul becomes empty
Despite plenty years of experience
You still do not know where the secret is?
Run home and find yourself some peace
Where youth and age converse and find understanding
Where the truth of yourself is exposed but not
mocked
………………………………………………………..
If they matter so much
Why do some plan to go on without them?
Some do not value their being’s essence
The pertinence of the matter is huge
Ever strange how little things set greater things in
motion!!
See the ship and plane, what directs them? The wind?
Or the tiny handles?
See how huge we are
It’s the bits of knowledge accumulated over time
That makes the great enterprises
And generate the big names
Remember, “a stitch in time saves nine”
The mystery, you do not want to find out
But know this
………………………………………….
The
little things do matter, they matter most!
