Can you see the simile? One does not have to be a Saint or celebrity to Shine forth in the darkness. ~ One doesn’t need Fancy clothes or houses or cars. One only needs to BE the light, to Shine on as you do what is right. ~ Doing a small thing might not make much difference To the world at large, but… It will most definitely make A difference for the one person for whom you did the One small thing. ~ Small things add up, they become Large things. Drops of rain become streams, then Rivers, then oceans. ~ Never forget the importance Of that one, Simple fallen leaf, a Focal Point of Light https://steemitimages.com/DQmV7t4mwVeseCv2p4Yf4XcBRRh7z8Yf3ZXSx4ZHkqzuFBA/graphics-stars-879742.gif ## _“A Focal Point of Light”_ ^by _Jerry E Smith_ ©3/19/2020 [Oliver Hihn-edited](https://unsplash.com/photos/7Au0hR_1S-E) https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://img.esteem.ws/j07ctelpgu.png https://res.cloudinary.com/hpiynhbhq/image/upload/v1519476235/mq0vd4zkb8apti6wd2om.png https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/391055761633181717/413062306914762752/image.gif ^{_These .gifs were created for me by @coquiunlimited; many thanks_} https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/391055761633181717/412704792339546112/image.gif ![9bolap.png](https://img.esteem.app/9bolap.png) ![cyktlq.png](https://img.esteem.app/cyktlq.png) ^{_This .gif was created by @elgeko_} https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQbjHy3EL4Qyo5YLcMMhVdzAGCQ1cRMhY7oK8hUE8upUY/plcoin-onwhite.gif https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/448413092968398860/677191271898415124/Steempeak_footer_logo.jpg https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZMTckzqpfBShZSELLFNotjm43vJfjg79Ynz4ndB3i86a/PHC-Footer-05.gif https://steemitimages.com/DQmYHe3LVwpEFCGnv2azPfFfzu3UVrVD2hMRMvnF63GkzBG/royalfinest.gif https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcSxyff3pZtT3Vfxj1fSAziUsWjC9SE1aSHENCzSCzdPP/steem-spin-gif.gif
