The Wisdom of the Ages

The Wisdom of the Ages
I am a tiny speck
barely a mote
in a stream of specks
of unimaginable numbers
I do not pretend
To be wise
I do not wish to own
More than my share
of The Wisdom of the ages
Let wise men sit at their tables
And debate their weighty matters
Let the important learn
The importance of themselves
Allow this tiny creature
Her small place
Among the multitudes
Allow this unworthy child
The sight to see a need
Give me the grace
to give all I can
Then to give a little more
And I will not ask to be counted
Only to be remembered kindly
by those I have touched
