No Hidden Cards

Tread lightly on the paths of the plain,
With the tools that you have, stake your claim.
For the hand you’re dealt is the hand to play,
No hidden cards, no secret sway.

Forge ahead with what’s in your grasp,
Bind your fortunes with a fervent clasp.
In the simplest stone there’s a spark to see,
In the barest branch, a hidden tree.

Craft your castle from the sand,
Work each grain with a steady hand.
The might of oceans in a drop of rain,
The endless echoes in a single grain.

Do the best you can, hold your ground,
In the humblest seeds, great forests are found.
For when you’ve nothing else but your own resolve,
You’ll find depths unknown that you can solve.
