This is the cover a card I made and the first acorn I have drawn. Not only was this acorn fun to draw but it feels really good to be drawing once again. I am so excited that after not drawing for so long that I not lost my skills.
When I came across the poem Little by Little I felt this fit the acorn and oak tree drawings I have been doing lately so well. Like life if we take things little by little we too can accomplish great things and endure so much.
LITTLE BY LITTLE.
"Little by little," the acorn said,
As it slowly sank in its mossy bed,
"I am improving every day,
Hidden deep in the earth away."
Little by little each day it grew;
Little by little it sipped the dew;
Downward it sent out a threadlike root;
Up in the air sprung a tiny shoot,
Day after day, and year after year,
Little by little the leaves appear;
And the slender branches spread far and wide,
Till the mighty oak is the forest's pride.
"Little by little," said the thoughtful boy,
"Moment by moment, I'll well employ,
Learning a little every day,
And not misspending my time in play;
Whatever I do I will do it well.
Little by little, I'll learn to know
The treasured wisdom of long ago;
And one of these days, perhaps, will see
That the world will be the better for me."
