Drop by drop, the water falls,

On the rock, in silent calls.

Day by day, without delay,

A steady tap that wears away.

A gap appears—deep and wide,

Carved in stone, nowhere to hide.

They stood and stared, struck with awe:

"How could a drop break nature’s law?"

If something so small,

With patient beat,

Can crack the stone

Beneath its feet—

Then what's to stop

A change in me?

Bit by bit,

Persistently.
