Advice From an Ant
October 1, 2020
Stay out of the rain
It can swallow you whole
Carrying you away
To a place you can’t return from
If there’s a shadow over your head
Get out of the way
Something is above you
And what goes up must come down
The smallest of those giants
With sticky fingers
And stains around their mouths
Offer the most food
Don’t be afraid to jump
The fall cannot hurt us
In fact, take a leap of faith
You might learn that you can fly
And the most important:
Teamwork
We can carry far more together
Than we ever could apart

This is one of my favorite pieces because it's lighthearted and silly, but the advice is true (especially when you're an ant).
