How Height Matters


I look up at many faces,

at all the many places.

so what if I am shorter?

Between me and them, there is no border.

I don't think people should be judged by height.

Toward others, my thoughts are bright.

I see no difference at all,

Because I am not that small.

This is how height matters, it matters not.

And so, being tall isn't something I've ever sought.

Everyone is different, but not too much so.

And height matters not, THIS I know.
