Poem
The Spider and the Pear-A Fable on Being Satisfied With What You Have On a glorious new morning a daddy long-legged spider set out upon a new journey searching high and low for a sweet to nibble. What she had in mind was a mango, but settled on a nectarine. Clear in the distance she spotted the tree that she would climb. She began her descent to reach the branch with the juicy piece of fruit; her journey to find refreshment and energy to build a masterful web. For what is a spider without a web. And how can a spider spin without her nectar? As she almost reached her destination she spotted a more appealing fruit. She saw it from way across the forest. There it was! A sight to behold! A single pear! So the daddy long-legged turned her focus on another piece of fruit. What is the true meaning of this story? All spiders must build a web and all spiders must have some nectar. Keep your eyes on the number one piece of fruit and do not by distracted by another. For today’s journey is set in stone, BUT TOMORROW IS ALSO A BIG BEAUTIFUL PEAR! KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE AND NEVER LET ANYONE STEAL YOUR CROWN OF GLORY. Written by Gwendolen Rix 8-1-14
