Those who extend themselves in small things <br />Almost never own the heights <br />Are regarded as a common sight <br />Yet in small things of love they live <br />The other the great seduction a sort of sieve <br />That catches the pieces of our lives that others hold <br />But age - and truth to proclaim - has made me bold <br />To state that it is the liquid that lives <br />The part poured through life's strange sieve. <br /> <br />Inspired by the life of Lt. Col. Robert Kaiser, West Point Class of 1954<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/those-who-extend-themselves-in-small-things/
