such little things move mountains
day in and day out is living
raindrops slide mountain-sides into scree
tender shoots push upward through soil as plant starts
root fingers lift concrete walkways
a snide word leads to blood feud
a thoughtless snub to sadness
bitter labels and recriminations to a child’s loss of self-worth
an unexpected compliment produces a smile at being recognized
a word of praise can change a day toward kindness
