TINY BUBBLES

There are many tiny bubbles

in a little person’s mind.

Always feeling full of troubles;

Always falling just behind.

Feeling timid, and inferior

of the big inquiring man.

Wonder, what makes “the big man” better

than his own calloused hand.

Knowing not,

that bigness comes

not from the outer side,

but within a person’s self.

Finding what it hides.
