Big can be small and Old can be new

Dear Grandpa,

Since the day of the old,
And the time of the new,
Your strength never grew cold, 
Your mind was never due,
You stood strong,
Mighty as an ox,
Smart like an ape,
As cunning as a fox,
Though one more year goes by,
I hope to see you,
At the corner of my eye,
They may push you down,
And stomp on your belief,
May you stand your ground,
And not dare to grieve,
Every small act,
Is worth a thousand plays,
Never stop smiling,
Not by night nor by day,
The little things you do make a big change,
Don't you ever stop,
No matter what they say,
Even an elephant fears a mouse,
Even a tall building can fall,
The one true thing that matters in the end,
Is the one who's above them all.
