They said I’m just a drop-
A drop that is part of ocean’s kitty.
A drop that by itself is flop!
A drop in the ocean is my identity.
I adjusted myself to the place-
I played my role with sincerity.
I knew I was full of grace.
Not average; I was infinity!
Drops make an ocean that was clear.
But, what if some drops were less?
Does the ocean stress or ever fear?
If I simply left, ocean would be in distress?
I realized I am a drop for a reason.
The ocean may not even know me!
I’ve an entire ocean in my drop every season-
That’s me & my newly discovered reality!
