You are precious

Precious gifts are given in small packs

Sparkling diamonds are wrapped in tiny boxes,

A tiny pearl drop is trapped in the folds of a tender oyster,

The dawning dew that refreshes the soil is just but a tiny drop,

Rice and wheat are tiny grains that satisfy hunger,

So also the giant forests sprout out of small seeds.

The shimmering teardrop is stored in almond-shaped glands,

The fistful heart is small but steadily pumps life within a chest box,

As every life is knitted in a tiny pear-shaped dark pouch of a mother’s womb.

The Cycle of Life revolves only on the blue planet earth which is a tiny dot in this vast cosmos.

Hence everything that is precious is packed compact,

Including you and me, made small but definitely precious,

As we are packed in a 5 feet or more containers,

Though insignificant, but precious,

Wrapped and sealed for the Creator’s delight in small neat frames.
