Berthold Lippel

SMALL THINGS ARE ENOUGH

No need to be a hero

To fly into space

To conquer a country

Just make me some tea

When I am sad or weary

Small things are enough

 

No need to be a lover

To bring fragrant roses

To write clever poems

Just hold my hand

When I am worried or lonely

Small things are enough

 

No need to make speeches

To build castles with words

To drip honey from tongue

Just share my silence

In a world full of noise

Small things are enough
