please, be a "Focal Point of Light" in these dark times.

A simple fallen leaf, a
"Focal point of light".
It shines with clarity amidst a
Darker surrounding.
~
Is this not a metaphor?
Can you see the simile?
One does not have to be a
Saint or celebrity to
Shine forth in the darkness.
~
One doesn’t need
Fancy clothes or houses or cars.
One only needs to BE the light, to
Shine on as you do what is right.
~
Doing a small thing might not make much difference
To the world at large, but…
It will most definitely make
A difference for the one person for whom you did the
One small thing.
~
Small things add up, they become
Large things.
Drops of rain become streams, then
Rivers, then oceans.
~
Never forget the importance
Of that one,
Simple fallen leaf, a
Focal Point of Light
