GOOD THINGS
Sakshi Kumari 2008 (Katihar, Bihar)
GOOD THINGS
I once heard an old man say,
Shaping vases out of clay
Into subtle forms sublime,
"Listen, son, good things take time.
All my life I've thought of this When a task was lacking bliss, When the work seemed awfully tough And I thought I'd had enough.
So I'd give a little more
To what sometimes seemed a chore;
And, you know, without a doubt,
Good things always came about.
