The giant and the dwarf
(Love at Great Heights and Tiny Depths, funny bedtime poem for kids)
A whimsical tale of an unlikely pair proving that love knows no size.
In a land of magic, far and wide,
Lived a giant with a lumbering stride.
He towered high, touched the sky,
But his heart was lonely, oh my, oh my!
One day he met a dwarf so small,
With a beard so long, it touched the hall.
The giant’s heart skipped a beat,
For this tiny dwarf was oh so sweet.
“Hello there, little one,” he said with a grin,
“Your smile is bright, it makes my head spin!”
The dwarf looked up, eyes so wide,
“Why, thank you, giant, for your kind side.”
They danced and laughed, a funny pair,
The giant and dwarf, without a care.
Through forests deep and mountains tall,
They found love, despite being small.
So if you see a giant and dwarf hand in hand, Know that love can bloom in any land.
For size and height don’t matter, you see,
It’s the heart that counts, for you and me.
