If I sing aloud in the world <br />Will my song be heard? <br />To the tone deaf all songs are flat; <br />If I never raise my voice <br />Only the First Principle will hear <br />He/She knows it all anyway. <br />I may never be a flame in darkness, <br />However consider the firefly <br />If it worried about predators <br />Its species would never survive <br />There is no end to growth <br />Merely the desire to grow.<br /><br />Thomas Golding<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-timorous-wordsmith/
