they are never in vain,

all the little things you do.

 

all the simple, kind, quiet things

done with ease from a heart that

loves and does love well.

 

just because it is in your nature,

part of your skillset, does not mean

that it is not valuable, not needed,

not desired.

 

because we are all delightfully

different, if each of us would simply

do the things that we do best, hone

our skills, improve our inherent gifts,

 

then we would make the world

richer and fuller and finer, and

would add to the beauty therein.

 

so, keep bringing all of those little

things that come easily to you.

you may value them not,

 

but someone, and others, and

community will.
