Think Small, Dream Tall

Sometimes I like to try to "whip words into shape;" it usually ends up the other way around.


Poem Artwork

Think Small, Dream Tall

Think small
Dream tall
Find a way around the wall

Watch the sunlight fade
Lay down in the shade
Of a blade of grass
Allow this to pass

Keep an open mind
If your dreams are kind
You will learn the way
To face the new day

With the morning sun
Once more on the run
Rise up from your bed
With a clearer head

Be taught by the ant
It does not know “can’t”
It lives and it dies
Sans wherefores or whys

Seek wisdom within yourself
Not from books upon the shelf

Think small
Dream tall
Walk right through the wall

Very motivational. This is great, Regis. I think I might print it out, frame it, and hang it in my daughter's room. These are words I'd like her to memorize.

Yes! Are you analytical like I am, with the tendency to over-think? This is grand advice and a great poem. "Think small, dream tall" should be a mantra.(Do know what you mean Reg. You start out with an idea that forms into something so differant. This is why poetry is alive)...Love, Lin

As I read this, I envisioned it put on a poster which I would love to hang on my wall before I walk out the door every morning and read it as a reminder to me since I so often do not do this! Actually, I should put it by my bookcase. Of course life has shaped me on it's own but I have gone so much by books as I have raised children and have tried to learn about myself and others. Just take it simple but believe in yourself. I love this. And "walk right through that wall." Okay, I will; I will try. Beautiful and eloquent message that everyone can relate to but people like me cannot just sum it up so well and sweetly. Thanks, Regis. Love from Meredith I find this so encouraging that I would love to print this our and really hang it up when our printer is finally hooked up!
