The little droplet

A little drop of water,
Made the leaf look like a thing of beauty,
That little drop of water,
Bought out the fragrance of land.
In the harsh sunlight,
This little drop showed rainbow colours,
This very little drop,
Made the rose look afresh.
Enclosed in the oyster,
The little drop turned to pearl,
Even the window sill looked pretty,
When the drop slip off it.
And here we sit and wonder,
How little my actions matter,
I am an insignificant being,
How will I make the world better?
I am not a mighty ocean,
I don't even want to be,
I am a little droplet,
Who spreads joy around me.
