The Little Brown Spider Little brown spider, I bumped into you today I am so sorry. I didn't see you being so small. Your web I wiggled. Did I you scare? I hope I didn't your web break. I want your web strong so your next meal you catch. But it's so fine only a gnat or two could it catch. But you being so small a gnat or two would do. A gnat or two even enough for a day or two.
Little brown spider, I have a question for you. Why did you build your web inside my shed? The door is closed and no gnats it contains. Are you so small because no food you have? Could you outside your web have built There where abound the gnats? Outside? Yes, there outside where abound the gnats. The breeze strong may be so must your web be. Outside where the gnats abound. Read it to your children or grandchildren or copy it and have them read it to you. Send me their email address and I will send directly to them.
Larry E. Whittington, 3/11/2018. As I entered my shop to do some work polishing some rocks, my forehead felt the web. I could not see it or the spider at first. When I turned the lights on, there the spider was, clinging to the web. I probably thought about the spider and its web while I was working on the rocks, but it was later that evening I put it into these words. The spider was fortunate I hadn't just swiped the web away as I entered the shop. This year I saw a larger brown spider near the shop and I asked my self (really I asked the spider) if you were related to a little brown spider. When we don't do things we think of doing but don't and afterward wish we had, it was the Spirit of God telling us to do it. If I would have followed the lead, it would have been a good poem we all would have loved. In life, when we don't understand or see God's leading by or through the Holy Spirit, we miss some of the joys and rewards of following God closer.
