 Artist: Nelly Charbonneaux Small Packages ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ It is said that “Big is better.” ~ But big has farther to fall. Do not discount small packages, ~ For big can be smaller than small. Small things may well surprise you, ~ With big treasures if you look. You never know what is inside, ~ Because covers can belie the book! Do not discount small packages, ~ Unwrap them and explore! Take the time to look inside, ~ For often less is more! “Oft times it is the deaf who truly see and the blind who truly hear.” ~ Linda L. Dowd |

ooh I love this poem! It is my belief too. Thank you for sharing Mia  Rainclouds lie in your tears, sunshine in your heart. When you cry from happiness, you glow as a rainbow. - Marie-Ève C. |

Earth Angel, I've always heard dynamite comes in small packages! I'll have to show this to my 12 yr old son they call "Little Man!" He would definetly fit that discription! Enjoyed! :-) |

SweetEarthyOne~ Don't I know this to be true for in my heart there are two angels packaged with such glee grandie girlies, Delaney and little Landry~ You tweak my heartstrings~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

"For often less is more" Yes, Linda, most times it is and even a "look" can offer more than a diamond ring. |

So very true your words are Linda. I got a small package for Easter from the Bunny Hubby. Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, |

This is so true. Big isn't always better. |

Goldenrose ~ Yes, to be sure. I learned this at a very young age. I was wishing for a big 3 foot doll for Christmas and was a tad disappointed when there was this itty bitty present under the tree instead. When I opened it up, there was the most beautiful ring with my birthstone set exquisitely in it! Oh, and btw, my parents did buy me that big doll for my birthday! lol Linda |

Steve ~ If your "small" son is anything like his father, I'd wager that his spunk 'n spirit is bigger than a stick of dynamite!  It's probably like a whole keg of dyn-o-myte!  Here's a hug for each of you! Linda |

mariae ~ I can well-imagine that this poem is a bit confusing for someone whose second language is English! It could be confusing for someone for whom English is their mother tongue! Thanks for dropping by! Warm hug and a big smile, EA |
