Big Picture

Miniature beginnings are the scaffolding to mightiness
      Just a pinch of yeast puffs up the dough
      And little stars still light up big skies
  
       No matter where you are "on the totem poll",
       whether you are midway, quarter way or bottom last
       don't pooh-pooh small beginnings

       The little leagues is your boot camp to the Big leagues
       One word doesn't make a novel, but one word begins it
       And from that lone scribble, everything else flows

       A single rose stem doesn't make a bouquet, but from a seed 
       can bloom a rose garden
