“So small a drop as I” - A SATURDAY POEM

Those familiar with the words in the title, quoted in Mary Baker Eddy's writings, will be interested to read the whole poem, as recently Doug up by a colleague of mine. (Guess his name!)And for anyone unfamiliar with it, here's an introduction to a sweet poem about self-worth.InfluenceBy George W CutterWhat if the little rain should say,‘So small a drop as ICan ne’er refresh a drooping earth,I’ll tarry in the sky!’What if a shining beam of noonShould in its fountain stay,Because its feeble light aloneCannot create a day?Doth not each rain-drop help to formThe cool, refreshing shower,And every ray of light to warmAnd beautify the flower?Go thou, and strive to do thy share;One talent – less than thine –Improved with steady zeal and care,Would gain rewards divine.For anyone living in and around the Watford area, it would be great to see you at a talk I am giving this Sunday afternoon (May 15).
