Lessons from an Acorn
I’m just a little acorn
Cracked and not much use am I
Fallen from the tree underfoot I lie
Trodden with disdain into the hard cold ground
Please be patient now with me
Growing slowly, not very quick I am
Over me all others quickly tower
Peering down with scorn from lofty heights
Look now, up here you’ll see
A lofty tree I’ve come to be
Stately and majestic, long time it took
Transformed by God into a mighty oak

A great picture of humbling ourselves under the mighty hand of God and waiting for Him to exalt us in due time. Plus, this piece is a confirmation for me regarding something I'm writing. Thanks. Great lesson!
