Perspective

We are a small part of a world,

Apart of a solar system,

Inside a galaxy so

Big, that is a drop of water

In the ocean of the universe?

Why, it feels like we are such

A small part.

Why are anyone's problems

Of any consequence?

It gives some perspective

To the ordinary inconveniences

That plague our lives

To know that there is a universe

Far larger with disasters

That make our problems seem like

Ants to a mountain.

That is the beauty, you see.

Despite being so small,

We have the greatest problems,

And the best moments.

Enjoy the little things,

Because who knows?

Maybe in this big, wide universe

There is someone who

Wishes to be you.
