A Bit of Dust

A bit of dust thinks it’s pretty big
until a shoe steps on it.

A shoe thinks it’s pretty big
until a foot can’t squeeze into it.

A foot thinks it’s pretty big
until it walks a mile.

A mile thinks it’s pretty big
until it climbs a mountain.

A mountain thinks it’s pretty big
until a cloud forms above it.

A cloud thinks it’s pretty big
until it rains.

A raindrop thinks it’s pretty big
until a bit of dust soaks it up.

“Then the Lord God formed man 
of dust from the ground, 
and breathed into his nostrils 
the breath of life; 
and man became 
a living being.”  
~Genesis 2:7
