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!

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