52. Poem to reflect our humility

FOREVER SUSTAINED by Ramus Branch, published in THIS ENGLAND, Summer 2005


I am but one tiny pebble on the beach.
I am but one grain of sand in the desert.
I am but one drop of water in the ocean.
I am but one point on a holly leaf, on a
Large holly tree, in a vast holly forest.
I am but one blade of grass in a landscape
That knows no horizon.
Truly I know my place in this world,
Which is itself but a microcosm of the
Galaxies that make up the universe.
And yet…
I am forever sustained in the knowledge
That my every prayerful thought is heeded
By the One who created those limitless
Elements of which
I am but an infinitesimal part
