Of Secret Things

Who can know of secret things and answers to life's riddles but one who slowly takes the time and searches out the little ? For we seem too often to be impressed with what is big and grand. Looking in awe of the mountains we overlook the grains of sand. What we learn from the bee and the ant in terms of diligence and not being idle; these are qualities that everyone must always learn to bridle. Douglas L. Ace

True, we seem to only look at the 'big' picture and overlook the small things that are just as important. A very good write, my dear Doug...makes one appreciate the small things in life. ~Belinda~

Great poetry Douglas, and there is so much truth in this. I especially love this part: "Looking in awe of the mountains we overlook the grains of sand." This is good for us to remember... excellent writing. :) Love, Amy
