Ode to The Ant

A lot of people take ants for granted.
 At first glance they seem like they play small parts compared to other animals or insects, but truth be told, ants are amazing.
 They carry out their designated tasks, work hard, do heavy lifting, and try to make things as easy, safe, and smooth for the rest of the colony.
 Ants don't complain.
 They just build their mountains quietly and when it's done, get to work on the next job.
 I'd like to think that they have somewhat of a silent pride, seeing their hills grow to mountains and their colonies flourish and succeed.
 I want to be an ant someday, too.
