Grains Of Sand Poem by Juan Olivarez

Grains Of Sand



The tighter you squeeze,
The grains of sand,
The more of them,
Slip through your hand.
No matter how tight,
You make your fist,
They'll drain right out,
Just like a mist.
There's just so many,
Grains of sand,
That will ever fit inside,
your hand.
So be content,
With what you got,
If you stop and look,
It's quite a lot.
