Walking Amongst Giants

I'm walking amongst giants Though tiny I may be. Unlike the self I once was, This does not intimidate me. And how can this be so? Well I realise after all, That much can be admired Even in the very small. Notice how it lifts your spirits When what suddenly catches your eye Are the colours of the wild flowers In the sun, when you walk by... The mesmerising iridescence On the wings of a butterfly... The tranquility of the ducks and swans When they elegantly glide by... And what about the gift of sound? The rejoicing felt in song? The smallest acts of kindness That carry us along? Even giants take the time To appreciate what they have. I see their love, their sense of humour, And they often make me laugh. If we keep an open heart and mind What inspiration we will find! Be I small or weak or frail, To learn I will not fail! Now and then it's clear to see These giants also learn from little me!
