Have you ever seriously thought?
How little things in our lives become big things
A single snowflake falls at sundown
Becomes a skier’s paradise at sunrise
A single encouraging thought
Becomes the key to unlock a young mind
A single thoughtful gesture
Becomes a way for others to “pay it forward”
A single painting by an artist
Becomes a masterpiece for all generations
A single drop of rain
Becomes a nourishing drink for flowers so bright
A single warm smile
Becomes the connection between a father and daughter
A single laboratory discovery
Becomes the means to cure a disease
A single lightning strike in the forest
Becomes a way for nature to manage itself
A single book read at a young age
Becomes an inspiration for life-long reading
A single win for a struggling team
Becomes the spark for a championship run
A single handwritten short story
Becomes the inspiration for an award-winning novel
A single diamond engagement ring
Becomes a long and lasting marriage
A single simple prayer
Becomes the bridge between one and God
A single moment of intimate love
Becomes the birth of a blessed child
A single job interview
Becomes an incredible and fulfilling career
A single bright-shining star
Becomes the beacon to proclaim Christ’s birth
True, not all little things lead to good things
But, with patience and God’s guidance, some will become great!
I really enjoyed reading your poem😊

Yes, Richard, “single things” often multiply and blossom. Single words can do that if they are spoken with love. Or if spoken with anger, they can lead to major destruction. It’s good to keep those consequences in mind when we engage in those “simple things.” Thank you for your very thoughtful poem.
