We learn about big H history in school
Events that shape the world
Great women and men placed
At just the right moment
Or making the moment
through sheer force of will.
Yet every day we witness
Small h history practiced
In the unwritten text
Of the book of life.
We say hello and goodbye
Wave at the people in cars
Open doors for others
take the lady bug outside
Bring misdelivered mail
To the neighbor next door
Pick up some loose trash
And put it away
Slow down for
The anxious squirrel.
Write a poem on a blog
that no one may ever read.
