Today's word is "animalcule" ... A minute animal, nearly or quite invisible to the naked eye.
Invisible
Tiny things sometimes grow,
Into giants that then show,
Little things can great become,
Not insignificantly succumb.
Yet there are some animalcules,
Which will remain most miniscule,
And yet have purposes unknown,
Carried deep within their bones.
Size does not determine fate,
As some wee creatures contemplate,
How best to use gifts undeserved,
To improve the world they serve.
