What is it I have in my hand? <br />Hint: Something all too grand. <br />It sparked world imagination, <br />The source for all causation. <br />The essence of life, <br />It was the solution to the first strife. <br />The savior for those who suffered, <br />New beginnings it offered. <br /> <br />What is it I have in my hand? <br />Hint: Many don't see it grand. <br />Seemingly insignificant, <br />It has the power to turn a man into a tyrant. <br />In eternal life it lives and dies, <br />A metaphor large, but small in size. <br />Though it is small, its task is great. <br />Its beauty is postponed, so one must wait. <br /> <br />What is it I have in my hand? <br />Hint: For centuries it has made its stand. <br />Taken for granted, <br />Yet its beginning leaves men enchanted. <br />Something so small creates our society, <br />Small but wide in variety. <br />If human, it would be gentle, <br />A child maybe, wise in mental. <br />Do you know what it is?<br /><br />Hannah Bryson Price<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-is-it-i-have-in-my-hand/
