Worthless?
A single blade of grass
One leaf flying free
One dewdrop in a meadow
Just one fish in the sea
A single tear wept of sorrow
A single laugh of happiness
One tiny light that cannot
Overcome the darkness
Am I so insignificant?
Am I truly nothingness?
Am I only light-hearted
'Till my light extinguishes?
Why do I hate those around me?
Is it a possibility
That in my despising them
I'm really despising me?
Must I constantly be reassured
That I have friends who care?
I do not want to hurt them.
But I always want them there....
A single cloud of white
That gently floats by
A single star out of millions
That dots the moonlit sky.
A single ray of sunlight
That lights up our earth
Am I just like them?
Do I have no real worth?
So why is it that I smile
When perhaps I should frown?
Why is it someone's lifting me
When others knock me down?
Who comforts me in despair
When I lie on the floor?
Who tells me to keep going
When my joys are no more?
Who tells me to stop trembling?
Who quells all my fears?
Who tells me it'll be all right?
Who dries away my tears?
When I feel like I can't do it,
Who whispers that I can?
Who takes my troubles right away
So I can smile again?
Who does not ever leave me
When I tell others to stay away?
Who is always by my side
And still there the next day?
He reminds me of the joys in life
When it seems they all have gone.
He gives me the strength to stand up
When I feel I can't go on.
He gently stops my crying
And tells me to hush
And that I am His child
And He loves me very much.
"But Lord," I say to Him,
"I'm afraid I do not see.
How could one as great as you
Love one the likes of me?"
He wraps His arms around me
And tells me He is near.
He holds me close to Him
And He whispers in my ear:
"I made each blade of grass
That sways gently in the breeze.
I made every little fish
That swims throughout the seas.
"I made every tiny baby
That unto this earth is born.
I made each little dewdrop
In the meadows in the morn.
"I made each floating cloud
So beautiful and white.
I made each little star
That fills darkness with light.
"I made every ray of sunlight
That shines down upon this earth.
I made them all, my precious child,
And each one has its worth.
"If there were no blades of grass
In summer, where would you lie?
If there were no cotton clouds,
What would you see in the sky?
"Would the meadow be as splendid
Without each little drop of dew?
Would the world be as beautiful
Without one such as you?"
I cry again, but differently;
It is not of great grief.
It is of joy of sweet acceptance;
These are tears of relief.
I think of Him when I am sad
And I begin to weep.
I pray that He will help me
When I cry myself to sleep.
I think of Him when I smile
And again when I laugh.
I thank Him for my happiness
And all blessings I have.
I think of Him as I marvel
At each delicate snowflake.
I think of Him as I see
Every forest and lake.
And even as I get carried away
With my own selfish will
I take comfort and ask forgiveness
For I know He loves me still.
What is it about knowing
That someone cares for you?
What is it that makes you feel
There's nothing you can't do?
It's always so comforting
When someone doesn't turn away.
It seems that afterward you want
To make them proud to stay!
It's comforting that no matter
How many times I've laughed or cried
Someone never leaves me
And is always by my side.
And He's given me friends
That I know are strong and true;
That no matter what happens
They'll always bring me though.
Shoulders to cry on,
Laughter to share,
People who understand me
And genuinely care.
I wish they all could see,
How I wish they could know
How very much they mean to me
And how I love them so!
And my family is there
When life is nothing but harms,
They're waiting with consoling words
And ever open arms.
And just like everyone
There was a reason for my birth:
I know I am God's child;
I am loved...and I have worth.
A single blade of grass

Well, after a while of resisting putting this poem here (I wrote the poem in December), I've decided to, well, post it here. XD People who don't know me well will think that I am just a goofy 15-year-old, with no more depth than a wading pool. My best friends know better. Underneath my humorous façade is the dreamy and idealistic heart of a hopeless romantic. Thus, I write a lot of poetry, much of which I don't generally display for all to see. But as I've gotten very good comments about this one, I can face the prospect of ridicule simply because I haven't recieved any previously on this piece. XD
Anyway. This poem. I began to write it when I was feeling dispairing and hopeless, which you can see by the first few stanzas. I am like the smoke detector in the hallway in my house: the slightest disturbance will set me off. Normally I get rid of this stress by writing. Or by yelling. Whichever is most convenient at the time. XDXD! As I was in school when I wrote this, I determined that yelling would not be the appropriate choice. Writing when I was supposed to be listening probably wasn't either, but hey--if I didn't get rid of that smoke swirling around in me, somebody would have to call 911, right?
Well, I wrote the rest of the poem when I was feeling a bit more uplifted. I really like this poem. I have had people cry over it, which deeply touches and flatters me. I'm glad I can affect a person that way; touch their soul so deeply as to stir tears. That just amazes me.
Anyway. Please read and enjoy, and comment if you'd like!
