reaching out br i throw a handful of sand br towards the stars br br inspired by br Robert Service's br br A Grain Of Sand br ------ br If starry space no limit knows br And sun succeeds to sun, br There is no reason to suppose br Our earth the only one. br 'Mid countless constellations cast br A million worlds may be, br With each a God to bless or blast br And steer to destiny. br br Just think! A million gods or so br To guide each vital stream, br With over all to boss the show br A Deity supreme. br Such magnitudes oppress my mind; br From cosmic space it swings; br So ultimately glad to find br Relief in little things. br br For look! Within my hollow hand, br While round the earth careens, br I hold a single grain of sand br And wonder what it means. br Ah! If I had the eyes to see, br And brain to understand, br I think Life's mystery might be br Solved in this grain of sand.
