(For anyone who is feeling "little") 
“A Little Thing” 
am a little thing 
the smallest firefly 
scuttling across the ceiling of the vast night sky 
so very, very small 
if you don’t look 
you wont see me 
almost nothing 
compared to the big that surrounds me 
but look closer 
not at the brightest star that beckons for your admiration 
but for the littlest thing 
that’s barely there 
no dancing beams to catch your eye 
no heart on my sleeve 
the wonder shines inside 
and the smallest door 
leads to the biggest room 
and the brightest light that fills each corner 
and the warmest hug you will ever know 
but you will never know 
unless you look away from the brightest lights 
and your eyes get used to the dark 
and after a while 
you will see me here 
with all the rest of us 
the littlest things
