Little big things

Today an angel stepped on my foot while walking with her head up

Saying sorry, I saw her eyes all welled up

In a second, she smiled through her tears

when I slowly picked up her teddy bear

She asked 'Aunty, you study here?'

I could do nothing but laugh at her innocence mixed with fear

Planting a small kiss on her chubby cheek, I said I am too big for this school

With wrinkles on her forehead, she felt as if I am making her a fool

She told:

'but teacher said.. noone is big, all of us are small'

I nodded and waved bye to that doll

Looking back to the sweet encounter and the little big things it nudged

I walked down with a smile.. as pure as that soul
