There's so much to do,

The world is tattered and torn -

I'll sew your button.

Mona, Marinela thank you and Ed, yes I will but you have to supply your own cotton. I'm glad you liked it. Moya

Moya, the allusion is (pardon me) stitching. I love this kind of allegory and yours is tops, especially considering its import.

Moya,

Simply simple, simply great!

Moya - another good one! Thanks you for this simple but charming haiku! Salud,
Moya, get your needle and thread over here, quick smart - I've got lots of buttons waiting. While you do that, I'll save the world.

Great thoughts, Moya! Each one needs to do what little one can do.

Beautifully done. Sometimes all we can do is one small thing. But it may have a big affect.
