A Grain of Sand

A grain of sand fell from my hand It came from a mountaintop to be part of this land It was driven by water to the ocean below Then washed upon the land to be what I know It never gives up and it never complains As it’s slowly made into dirt to feed the terrains It will nourish and protect all that grow Bringing life to flourish, where none was before In Gods creation, all it asks is simply to be Why can’t I be more like thee?

I like your subject Carol. I have written a poem along similar lines called "The Iced Droplet". Both subjects are small and yet they can make such an interesting poem if you try hard. I think you did a really good job of this poem. Well done!

Smile ˜ Although as I have mentioned afore, sometimes, I love to have a bit of light-hearted and innocent fun; mainly because of love ˜ Believe me, not one tear drop which falls brings myself pleasure. Your beautiful poem, is what dreams are made of * Beautiful Love ˜ Not for one not for some but, for All of Creation ˜ Love always, John!:) ˜
