Little Tiny Timothy

Little Tiny Timothy Was less than five feet tall Not much chance of growing His Dad was also small! For quite a little while then He felt he didn't fit in Things were geared for bigger boys He was also very thin! Love to play a contact sport Bigger boys would laugh At this little guy's bold request That he would even ask! But Little Tiny Timothy Didn't let it beat him down Went on to more important things As mayor of his own hometown! Your bigness doesn't matter It's what's inside that counts So take heart all you little people All obstacles you can surmount! ©Jack Ellison 2012

Bigness isn't all that important, it's what's inside that is the measure of greatness!!! Always, Jack xxx
