Analysis of Small things
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
How can we face the biggest issue,
Without the small things.
Can we, help another to recover,
If sickness lies within.
Can a life shine a light, without, to spark a flame.
Can a passion from within,
Win this bloody game.
To sharpen a blade with precision,
Is not a simple feat.
It takes the master craftsmen,
To make the job complete.
And when the final touches are laid upon that stone,
A weapon will be produced,
Meet for the feat.
For dividing, spirit, flesh and bone.
