I am but a speck

I am but a speck
In the whole cycle of things
I am but a spot
On a large cloth

My colour on its own
Seemingly quite bleak
Still I do not discard myself
For I am part of the cloth 
And as the cloth cannot be discarded
Neither can I 

As I acknowledge myself
I know I am part of the cloth
And as I am 
The truest speck I can be
I am knitting the cloth of unity

I put trust in my fellow specks
That they too will see
The power we hold in ourselves
And the power of diversity

Together we are the cloth
Together we keep each other warm
Together we create the universal patterns
Together we are the blanket of love

And as we knit and knit and knit
We learn our true knitting skills
And as we forgive and forgive and forgive
We make the cloth a perfect fit.
