THE SMALL PICTURE

you must keep your perspective

when you go about a task

to take the whole job in at once

is way too much to ask

so slice your daily burdens

into wedges not so thick

forget construction of the wall

just form a single brick

our vision is peripheral

but images may blur

we must look straight ahead

or misconceptions may occur

in your examinations

don't let things stretch out too far

why fret about the galaxies ?

just focus on a star

the earth was here before us

it will be here when we're gone

we've just dropped in for lunch

we missed the breakfast served at dawn

when that dinner bell is ringing

we won't be around to hear

the eons take care of themselves

so hold this moment dear
