“Bits,” Friend, July 1990, 31

Bits

The ant is tiny, but it’s big

In wisdom, for it knows

That large things are made up of bits.

So all day long it goes

About each task with this in mind.

If it finds crusts of bread,

It doesn’t think, I can’t move this!

It takes one crumb, instead.

Then crumb by crumb it carries of

The bread until it’s gone.

Its eye fixed firmly on its goal,

The ant keeps going on.

Well, I am learning from the ant:

When big jobs come my way,

I break them up in bits and do

My best from day to day!
