THE
LITTLE
MAN
A 'Giant'
He was very
small in stature
And people thought
him odd
The townfolk
cruel with laughter
Still, he'd tip
his hat and nod.
Deformed at birth,
disfigured
His height was
just ' four-three'
When people stared
and snickered
He smiled at
them joyfully.
Home, it sat
on a piece of land
The edge of
town, 'bout a mile
Every Sunday
with Bible in hand
He walked to
Church with a smile.
'Twas late in
June, had been no rain
People fretted
o'er the drought
An explosion
heard- a house on 'Main'
That's when the
fire broke out.
The town panicked,
a blazing sight
But all heard
the child scream
Trapped upstairs,
alone that night
Cried a boy
thru' a burning screen.
No volunteers,
all heads turned away
Except for a
man 'four-three'
Little in stature,
but on that day
He ran to
set the little boy free.
Now every Sunday
sits the little man
By his side
sits that boy
The townfolk
still don't understand
Why he wears
a smile of joy.
That boy grew
up and moved away
Now a Preacher
with a sermon to start;
Tells of a
fire when rescued one day
By a man
with Christ in his heart.
Disfigured now
from burns, he told
How people snickered
and stared;
But a little
man with a heart of gold
Came to him
with Salvation to share.
To God, looks
don't matter at all
For our hearts
and souls do tell
That little man
will always be tall........
A 'Giant'
Jesus knows his
name well.
