Douglas Ace Poet Rhyme

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

Belinda Parish March 12, 2009 at 7:00 AM 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~

Amy Swanson March 11, 2009 at 5:57 AM 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
