Face in the Crowd (Your Everyday Hero)

Written By Chia Poh Fang, Singapore

Look. It’s her again.
Almost lost. Almost invisible
A ho-hum existence
In the sea of dull faces.

Nothing special
Nothing outstanding
Just another face in the crowd.

She floats pass the mall
She drifts pass the stall
What’s the meaning of it all?

Nothing special
Nothing outstanding
Just another face in the crowd.

When things seem so plain
It’s often not so sane
And here’s what the plain Jane has to say,
Borrowing the words of Edward Everett Hale:

I am only one
But still I am one
I cannot do everything
But still I can do something
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
