The humble ant

The lion will roar 
to welcome it's reign
the eagle will soar
with great acclaim.
The cobra will strike
with venomous expression
but of many I like
one makes an impression.
Made for guile
and incredible strength
not for style
or girdth or length.
A tireless worker
for every day
a tiny warrior 
among the clay.
A selfless manner
within the team
a toiler a planner
fulfilling a dream.
Moving it's mound
within a great line
to hills in the ground
they build their cloud nine.
Tenacious and brave
in shine and in rain
not master or slave
a creature so plain.
There with the best
among mortal and plant
if not yet have you guessed
it's the humble ant.
