It’s ironic that Great Events, monumental ones, which change the course of history
They start out small enough just as the acorn becomes the mighty oak tree
Consider the egg and sperm in their habitat and they will demonstrate
How
little things become kings and queens, presidents and other heads of state
A little bug, the plague, almost ended European society
And
the splitting of an atom started the destruction at Nagasaki
It was a tiny pellet, a bullet that brought Lincoln and Kennedy down
A
wink and a cigar set Washington all
a stir and made the USA a laughing stock all the world around
The
American Revolution was started in part because of a little tax on tea
Some
small denial withholding rights that should have been free
It true that something small can bring about some great horrific woe
But
did you know, small things can also turn to good because God made it so
Tiny
grains of sand are formed to become computer chips and optical
glasses
Somewhere
there is a teacher planting small ideas in little lads and lasses
Gandhi & Mother Theresa were small in stature but everyone knew their names
One
tenth of a second will decide the winner at the Olympic games
A hair was used for the first filament in Edison’s light
Genes
can now be manipulated to cure cancer and restore some peoples sight
A
kind word is big enough to conquer a world of hate
And a single vote can seal our nations fate
It
seems that some little thing is always changing the world and the way we live
I
guess it’s just a matter of choice, of what little things we give
