Small bug climbing
the ladder of success
searching for crumbs
doing his best
Working hard
peering in the window
many types of food
are on the menu
He buzzes around
from flap to flap
grabbing what he can
hoping not to be zapped
An opening appears
in his large wall
climbing through the cracks
he still feels small
A community arises
he is not alone
now making a difference
it feels like home
Leaving the ladder
layered with success
sharing what he has
with those who have less
