Proverbs 6:6 “Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:”
Consider the ant
How far above
We consider ourselves
From the lowliness
Of the uncommon ant
What could you possibly teach me
What could you know of my life
What could you show me
About work, and love, and living
Your world is so small
Your duties are simple
You’re not hampered
By emotional hindrances
You gather
You build
You eat
You sleep
What could you show me
With your single mindedness
With your dogged determination
With your colony dedication
What could I learn
From your ‘stick-to-it-iveness’
From your unwavering industry
From your ‘all-for-one’ attitude
What ….
Oh
I see
