I Apologized To An Acorn
I kicked an acorn down the road as I often do,
to see how far it would roll, but unlike most,
which quickly veer left or over the center,
this one kept going and didn't stop -
until it rested far down the street,
seemingly waiting to be nudged once more.
So, I swept it out and down the hill thinking,
"You go little guy"!
Just then, a truck rumbled up the hill
and crushed it.
When I got to where it lay, I said, "Sorry buddy"!
Afterwards I thought that most have probably
had a private conversation with nature but,
how many have apologized to an acorn?
