Timothy Hicks Poet Grook

Space Cadet

You'll find it is a good idea,
now and then,
to look at the bigger picture:
see with a broader view
the workings of your fellow men.
A word of advice, if I may,
please, don't stay too long,
be sure to always come back soon!
One learns next to nothing
about mankind
by looking at the earth
while standing on the moon.



NOTE: Another oldie.

Laura Hay August 18, 2016 at 9:57 AM Its a bit like in business from worker bee to high up the tree, think they know it all from up there but they need to keep a close relationship with those bees or they'll lose sight of the detail. This poem can apply to so many different things, i really like it! Regards, Laura. Timothy Hicks August 31, 2016 at 3:04 PM Nice to meet you, Laura.
