we are like

droplets of water

clinging to leaves

 

who sometimes

feel we are only just,

barely holding on

 

but in the quiet rays

of early morning fresh,

we sparkle and gleam

 

even in those very first

beams of dawn, and transform

into an element of beauty,

 

glorious to all who pause

and take the moment to notice,

we simply required the light

 

to shine
