A Life of Purpose

So small, so strong,
So focused, so industrious,
Laboriously, patiently, silently,
Treading a path towards your goal.
Thou art so short lived
And yet thou findeth a purpose in life
To plan, to save, to work
For thy community.

Unwavered by the dangers
That threaten each day
Thou worketh,
Knowing thy reward shall lie
In doing thy best each day.
Brother Ant, so tiny among the created things,
I thank thy Creator
For the wisdom endowed upon thee!
