My Giant

(Click the play button to hear the poem.)

My Giant goes with me everywhere I go
But what he thinks and what he says,
I will never know.
The tops of my ears
Barely touch his giant toes
But on and on and on we walk,
Together yet alone.
My Giant walking with me, everywhere I go.

Mountain tall!
Volcano strong!
Thunder in his hand!
But what is in my Giant's heart
No one can understand.
He's a redwood in a glacier
Beyond the reach of man
But on and on and on we walk,
And he stops just where I stand.

I say go be great
And may you meet your fate
With a Giant of great strength.
And every giant I've known
Has grown and grown
From the smallest of mustard seed faith.
