Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

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!

Carol Eastman June 29, 2015 at 12:01 PM Dad was 5'4". Mom 5'3". Me 5'2". Didn't stop a thing. Seems John is off and running for the summer. We'll miss him. We had 9.45" rain in May. Twice our normal, and record rain in June (don't know how much yet). It poured all night. A grown racoon came to our patio after being flooded out of his home. He was wet and miserable. Tried to eat some bird seed. Then climbed a tree and took a wet uncomfortable sleep. He was gone this morning. Poor guy. Haven't ever seen a raccoon this far inland before. Jack Ellison June 30, 2015 at 7:30 AM Holy crap... your dad was 5'4"! Just goes to show you, it's not the size of a man that's important, it's the size of his heart! WOW!!! Love, Jack xxx Carol Eastman June 29, 2015 at 12:03 PM Thank goodness the raccoon was gone before Dragon woke up. He would have adopted him.
