To hit it big you must have patience, it will come.

 

The gold miner’s glare

Oh, how he’ll stare,

Into his pan with the light

Looking for that glimmer so bright

 

He’ll pan for hours

With a lot of will power

Sifting the sands away

Through night and day

He’ll survey and see

Oh what could that be

A flash, a twinkle in his pan

Then start all over again

    I could really imagine that miner in my mind. This is poetry that deserves to be among the classics.
