---anonymous---
"Little by little":an acorn said
As it slowly sank in it's mossy bed
I am improving every day
Hidden deep in the earth away
Little by little ; each day it grew
Little by little ;it sipped the dew
Downward it send a thread-like root
Up in the air sprang a tiny shoot
Day after day;and year after year
Little by little the leaves appear
And the slender branches spread far and wide
Till the mighty oak is the forest's pride
"Little by little": said a thoughtful boy
Each precious moment I will well employ
And always this rule my mind shall dwell:
"Whatever I do I will do it well"
"Little by little"I learn to know
The treasured wisdom of long ago,
And one of these day, perhaps will see
The world will be the better for me
