The Smallest Drop
Your worries won't help anything
So, do your best to stop.
Enjoy what should make all hearts sing;
A bucket with a drop.
Your worries won't help you at all.
They aren't a magic potion.
Despite how many times you fall,
They're just drops in an ocean.
A drop inside a bucket will
Not be significant.
Nor will some drops in ocean kill
Important things you want!
