Marvellous

It's all been said before, and better
but, aren't we small – such tiny little things
sailing our teeny boats on the wide water,
staring up at the big blue sky in wonder,
clambering up the huge hills and mountains
just because they're there;
'there, there' we should say to ourselves
as we gaze at the glorious expanse
and try to take our minds off
the woes of the world
'it'll all be fine, don't worry;
and yes, we are small,
but isn't it marvellous.'
