I see my life, a sidewalk
Stretching far ahead.
I'm focused on the mountains,
Huge problems that I dread.
They rise up, fierce and threatening,
To complicate my life.
I must climb o'er those mountains
Tho' they cut me like a knife.
I walk along my sidewalk,
Bruised, yet I'll survive.
I'm looking only forward,
Intent to stay alive.
Yet, though the mountains fight me,
And I must give my all,
It is the tiny anthills
That make me trip and fall.

Poetry: Ant hills
by Gary Maclean
A dozen little mounds
A hundred little trails
A thousand little workers
All bustling on the hills
Hills as big as a wagon wheel
Laid across the landscape
Like castles made of sand
Each a fortress built by perseverance
And teamwork
Gateways to an unseen
The human race is a lot like ants,
in a way we can not truly understand.
Our homes are our own personal mounds of dirt.
They
A tiny little mound
No more than a half inch wide
I can't help but wonder
How many ants are living inside
I know they're in
Ant hills and sugar trails
Feisty puppies, wagging tails
Lemonade sold at a stand
Castles built in the sand
Popsicles turning
