Poem -

Just Dust?

Shafts of sunlight
Fill my bedroom

Brightening the day

Banishing gloom.

 

Specks of mere dust

Glitter in light,

Almost nothingness,

Nearly out of sight.

 

A very thin film

Coats a golden scale,

Despicable dust,

Finger writes a trail.

 

Of such we are made

From the common earth

Yet, how important,

How much we are worth.

 

The bully may feel

You're nothing but dirt,

A useless nobody,

He piles on the hurt.

 

It matters not

What colour or hue,

What’s important is

That you are you.

 

A special person,

Of that you can trust;

No, you're not a nobody,

You're more than just dust!
