One grain of sand

 

“One grain of sand, one task at a time”

My father often reminded me,

Directing at his hourglass

 .

“Dad it’s a massive, complex project,

How would it ever see daylight?”

With innocence aglow, I would quetch with teary eyes

.

“Don’t worry honey, let’s start with baby steps,” he would suggest

“Give it heartily, the time it deserves,”

“It’s the little things that combine to be immense,”

.

As I grew up, I tucked onto his lessons

Hassled I would be, with multitude of life

But I would calm myself with one task at a time

.

As the pace of life outweighed on me

“Baby steps” I would remind myself

And back on track, I’d soon find myself

.

Smilingly, I would observe his hourglass,

How patiently it handled the pile of sand

Filtering slowly one by one,

.

Just one grain of sand

Just one grain at a time!
