A Grain Of Sand Poem by Carmela Patterson

A little grain of sand upon the beach
Has a lesson in humility to teach
Considering the numbers vast and wide
So high so deep a grain hides inside
Unnoticed, unknown, there nonetheless
Warmed by the sun in a warm caress.

Little grain of sand hidden from view
Still with his own little job to do
Fitting as placed there by the Creator's Hand
Right there on the beach within the sand
Unnoticed, unknown, there nonetheless
Warmed by the sun in a warm caress.

So are we, each one, one of many, yet all one
Placed here by the Mighty Three-in-One
Embraced by the Father, Holy Spirit and Son
One grain, in all the sands of time, won
From the plight of everlasting duress
Unnoticed, unknown, there nonetheless
Warmed by the sun in a warm caress
Enveloped by The SON in His Loving Caress.
