Does Size Matter?

by Connie Prestianni, Valley Stream, NY

I'm a speck.
No, less than a speck
In this vast universe
I last a nanosecond
Not even,

I'm completely insignificant
I hardly matter.
The earth I live on
Is just a rock,
No, a pebble

When I think about the cosmos
My head aches
I get filled with anxiety
It’s too much to consider
But yet,

I'm a universe onto myself
I am enormous,
A galaxy made up of
Atoms, cells, bacteria,
Plus all the flotsam and jetsam of life
Just consider that,

My significance  in the universe can shrink to almost nothing,
Or it can expand to hold a universe within me.
Does size matter?
It's all relative!!!.
