Small Beginnings
by Lois A. Tanner
In every acorn there lies an oak,
In each fire match, there is fire and smoke.
In every pit, awaits a juicy peach;
In every mind, lives ideas to share and teach.
From a tiny seed, a large olive tree grows,
And from simple words, a poem is composed.
From a wee babe, a grown man will emerge;
From different ideas, two thoughts will meet and merge.
From an underground spring, living water bubbles out,
Out of a tiny cloud, eventually dies famine and drought.
Out of a person who refuses to quit, when the road is rough,
Will come a being, who learns to trust, when times are tough.
