I started life as a grain of sand, But knew I’d find a way to expand, And always being a bit of a rebel, I joined with others and became a pebble, And as I grew and then took stock, I realised that I had become a rock, And as I become more confident and grow older, I wonder if I’ll become - A little boulder?

Thanks Anselmo. Talking of the universe, two days ago, my latest book 'Clive's Uni-Verse - A Cornishman's take on life' was published! It contains 100 poems, but it doesn't include this one. I'll have to consider include this poem in the next book I write!!! :) ~ Clive

Thank you for your comment. Great to see, and very appropriate, that the very first person to make a comment on this poem is called 'Sand blown'. You are talking of the universe, which is also very appropriate, as yesterday my latest book 'Clive's Uni-Verse - A Cornishman's take on life' was published! It contains 100 poems, but it doesn't include this one. :) ~ Clive
