Small drop

Tuesday,4th December 2018

 

I am a small drop in an ocean 

that can never be seen 

in its real worth

until finished by the death 

 

see my contribution

in overall composition, 

where do I stand for the nation?

yes, very much part and active to strengthen 

 

My role is no insignificant

as I am present

in each effort

that builds real ports to land 

 

if taken as of no value

I still fall due

in the progress of the nation  

as inseparable human 

 

who can annihilate?

or exaggerate

their importance to mine

I shall stay self-defined 

 

I am nothing

yet, I am something

I stand for one

and that shall be taken away by none
