Dewdrop

Someone told me I was a dewdrop-

Hanging off a twig.

I looked at it- It sparkled;

Did a lovely dancing jig.

Someone told me I was a dewdrop,

I heard "you’re just for now.

The shine will last til’ twilight,

Or til’ winds hit the bough."

Someone told me I was a dewdrop,

I saw that I was small,

They told me I was a dewdrop,

And watched me drip and fall.

Someone told me I was a dewdrop

I fell, but landed here.

I may be just a dewdrop

But at least I’m not a tear.
