A Grain of Sand

A Grain of Sand

 

A grain of sand got into my shoe

And he found a few others in there too

Listen up guys he said with such pride

I am the beach so vast and wide

Holding back the mighty oceans tide

 

Then we stepped into a sandbox nearby

And the grain of sand said with a sigh

I’m the lake where folks rest and play

Glistening forth in the Suns bright ray

An important role in life’s big play

 

As life would have it for Heaven’s sake

We wound up at the sandy lake

And the grain of sand exclaimed again

I’m just a box filled with sand within

Where kids come to mix and blend

 

But oh when we reached the sandy beach

That grain of sand stuttered in speech

All my life I thought I was the plan

That I was supposed to be loud and grand

Truth is,…. I’m just a grain of sand
