A piece of paper

A single piece of paper,

Lies alone unattended,

Unnoticed by many,

Ignored by most,

Who fail to see...

As for those who wonder

And seek the truth,

Behold the meaning,

Of a mere piece of paper

Forming the foundation

Of greater things to come

Oh how it craves

To be of importance

Oh how it wants

To be of significance

Little does it realize

That it shapes the base

Of something so beautiful

Little does it realize

That it bears the weight

Of our hopes and dreams

It is after all

A mere piece of paper
