if one tree, then another, then another decided it was done standing tall and contributing to the forest

if one star, then another, then another stopped seeing the point in shining

if one lion, then another, then another, walked away from its tribe

if one seed, then another, then another grew scared to push through the warm comfy soil

if one rain cloud, then another, then another became greedy and refused to let go and shower the earth

if one of us, then another, then another

decided to be done standing tall

stopped seeing the point in shining

walked away from our tribe

grew scared of our world

became greedy and refused to let go

we might be a part of the whole

we might feel like our part is insignificant

we might believe the lie that someone could do our part better

but every part of you

every bit of purpose spoken over you by Creator

every breath you breathe

every act of kindness seen or unseen

fills our world with the love He intended it to have -

you matter.

and everything you do and don't do today counts.

so if one of us, then another, then another...
