Sam Scott Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Small

Don't make yourself smaller
Determine: walk taller

Be a friendship adorer
A - phone your mates - caller

Don't squirrel away
All your treasures each day

Your wonderful existence
You light-up with your essence

There is love all around you
You don't see it but we do 

Your spine, it should straighten
We can't bottle or patent

All this fabulous You-ness
Let's be honest it's priceless

So big shout to you, beauty
You're a loveable cutie

Not just in your reflection
It's our inside detection

That we honour and clap for
From you, couldn't ask more

Be bold and courageous 
In your kindness outrageous 

You are generous-gifted
As our spirits are lifted

While we breathe in your presence
With your joy effervescence 

So, wherever you started
You've ended big-hearted

And your height not in inches
So impressiveness clinches

In each lovely encounter 
Say "we like you" 'cos we're bound t'

Emilia James October 6, 2023 at 9:48 AM I think we do need to believe in ourselves a little more and maybe we do not say it often enough to others and just assume they know or can see it. Your poem is full of encouragement Love the positive vibe. Emilia : ) Sam Scott October 6, 2023 at 10:08 AM Thanks Emilia - sometimes we all need a pep talk and the beauty of having friends (good ones at least) they can be straight with kindness and love. I think we all need to stand taller - trees have known that for thousands of years ;) Appreciate you stopping by!

I still am getting used to publishing here or even really publishing at all. Thanks for the sweet poem we all know is meant for each of us Sam Scott September 29, 2023 at 7:40 PM Susan how lovely of you to say such things :) I have always believed we should call out the beautiful in others. Glad you sensed it :))

Ink Empress September 29, 2023 at 11:28 AM Brilliant reminder so well written and read. I love the way you rhyme so effortlessly and how creative they are too. I hope this reaches many and many would read and also feel seen and heard and reminded that they are worthy and precious and the light around them others can see maybe sometimes they feel small or smaller. But in someone elses eyes they are more than what they think they are! Profound write! Absolutely loved reading this! Fave for me Sam Scott September 29, 2023 at 1:25 PM It is so lovely that you get this! People I know are so much more wonderful than they believe..
