As Life Unfolds - Smallest Ant Contest

You may not be as tall as others You may not have the prettiest face You may not have the many riches You may not have gods given grace By your actions you're the tall one A smile that lights the dullest day A kind heart that's always helpful Share the last of your hard earned pay By your thoughtfulness you're the fair one Any small deed you are asked to do Even the smallest ant, cast the tallest shadows You live to help others your life through So riches and stature are not important Fair of face will wrinkle when old The way you live your life however scant Shows your many riches as life unfolds
