Microscopic

The following poem was written by Sarala Pollack. I'm sure it will inspire you as much as it inspired me!

A tiny microscopic germ,

Inflicts so many,

Keep us in our house,

Does not allow us to interact,

Has changed our lives, while trying to keep intact,

Thought it's tiny,

Its potential is so great,

It created such a scare,

Do not go near me, don't dare!

So tiny, yet it has changed our lives

So small, yet it has dictated what we do,

We, precious human beings,

Children of Hashem,

We may think we're tiny, so small,

We may think we're just nothing at all,

I'm just but like the many starts in the sky, we think,

Who am I, amongst so many stars?

But that's precisely who are we are,

Our value, our worth,

So vast, unlimited,

So bright and shining,

So precious and unique in our own way,

So special, it would be a sin to forget it all,

So, as we're home,

Let's contemplate our unlimited worth,

Let's embrace ourselves,

Let's shine in ways that may seem "microscopic" but are truly not,

Let's shine, smile, laugh, sing, create and let ourselves break through
