One Grain Of Sand

One grain of sand
         Among many I am
             A particle measured many
                Yet solid suspended in the air
                     A particle definite shape
                        Difference yet the same
                            A granular material
                               Making up an empty space in time
                                   Yet God sees me among the many
                                         A grain of sand when multiplied 
                                             Can stop a flood
                                                Very course I am
                                                    Yet weight just one millionth of an ounce
                                                         Filling an empty space
                                                             Call I am a grain of sand
                                                                 Shaped measured length
                                                                    Wide and depth
                                                                         Just one grain of sand

                                                                           The space I filled just for me
                                                                    One grain of sand I am
                                                               Very small measured I am
                                                          One grain of sand in time 
                                                    Among many filling a dam
                                               Thousand of million
                                        Of grain of sand
                                   Filling a space a place
                              Among many
                         Holding back the time in space
                     With every grain in place
