The significance of small contribution.



The significance of small contribution.

If we can't be sunlight
and illuminate the whole world,
then we can be lamplight
and spread the light in a small place.

If we can't be moon beam
and glorify the night.
Atleast we can be candle light,
to glorify the cottage.

If we can't be banyan tree
and be the shelter of many birds.
Then we can be a small tree,
to provide shelter to insects.

 If we Can't be the star
and twinkle at night sky,
then be firefly,
to twinkle at dark forest.

So we shouldn't ignore small cotribution
and should mind it,
millions and millions of water droplets,
make an ocean.
