Long Live the Giants
I hail from a tribe of giants.
Men AND women each grand
In size and heart and mind.
Titans who built the world up
And gave it greatness.
I hail from a clan of giants.
Four brothers-
Each bigger than the last.
A soldier with skin like armor and twinkling eyes,
A priest with an infectious laugh and a kind ear,
A healer with a heart of gold and arms of safety,
And a teacher with an everlasting smile and a loving spirit.
I hail from the greatest of the giants.
The youngest, the biggest, the beloved.
A teacher of all things good and right and pure.
To all he gave some.
But to me, he gave all.
Love and luck and learning and life-
My inheritance.
I hail from an angel-
A giant, who now resides amongst the stars
And accepts my art as an offering.
