In life’s grand scale, what truly can we gauge?
The subtle shifts that shape our daily view,
The gentle growth that comes with passing age,
The quiet strength that helps us to push through.
Appreciable change, though often small,
Accumulates like grains of sand in time,
A steady force that answers to the call
Of progress, lifting spirits as we climb.
So let us not dismiss the minor gains,
For in their sum, a greater whole appears,
A tapestry of triumphs and of pains,
That paints the picture of our fleeting years.
In gratitude, we find our richest measure,
Each moment’s worth, a deeply valued treasure.
