Little Man

Little Man

 

Stand tall little man, stand tall,

Stand firm if you can, don't fall,

For all you can give is your all.

It matters little, little man, that you're small.

 

Shout out little voice, shout loud,

Stand out little voice, from the crowd,

Be heard, make it known you are proud,

Head high little man, never bowed.

 

Hit hard little man, hit fast,

Be first to the punch, never last,

Be brave, banish ghosts from your past,

For you can't be outdone or outclassed.

 

Think big little brain, think smart,

Think long, before acting your part,

Think back and go back to the start,

Think love, just a little, little heart.

This is very different from most things I read. I really liked it, and related it to my son and all the challenges he faces as a boy with autism. I'm sure you probably are speaking of an adult in this poem, but it really hit home with me on a personal level.

This poem has such a sweet tone and you make the man sound so innocent. I think this is wonderful as I carry on reading you start to give the man advice. I like the way you of how you try to help people. You should try writing a self-help book it would be really interesting to hear more of youir advice.

I do listen to Mumford and Sons - love their work - I wrote this about 5 years ago! Thank you for your kind words x

Do you listen to mumford and sons? For some reason this reminded me of little lion man, and I can actually work out some music that this poem would sound great to! Welcome friend to writer's cafe! Can't wait to read more of your stuff!!

This is a great poem, with a lot of meaning:) Size of no importance if we can stand tall in the heart and see life for what it is with conviction!
Awesome!
