The Ant
I observed a tiny ant today
Crawling in the sand.
What a marvelous creature
So delicate - so grand.
Its tiny little consciousness
Aware of its own plan,
Making its way through boulders
Of tiny grains of sand.
Next time you see
A tiny creature
Please don't stomp out its light.
Think of the glorious wonder
That is moving within your sight.
Then think of God the creator,
Who conceived that critter so free,
With a little bit of consciousness,
The same as you and me
Crawling in the sand.
What a marvelous creature
So delicate - so grand.
Its tiny little consciousness
Aware of its own plan,
Making its way through boulders
Of tiny grains of sand.
Next time you see
A tiny creature
Please don't stomp out its light.
Think of the glorious wonder
That is moving within your sight.
Then think of God the creator,
Who conceived that critter so free,
With a little bit of consciousness,
The same as you and me
