Tiny as a thumb; that would be my size,
My toes, a few grains of rice.
I would travel on the back of a bee,
And fly to all places I wish to see.
Â
My mattress, a few small leaves,
On it I’ll sleep without any grief.
With a piece of cotton under my head,
A few wooden pieces to make my bed.
Â
Tiny ants I will observe,
Strange memories I shall preserve.
The world of nature will open to me,
Every small thing I’ll explore with glee.
Â
First of all, flowers of every type
A feast of fruits raw and ripe.
Birds, animals, insects aplenty
All seen in Mother Nature’s bounty.
Â
My life will be unique,
And the environment most scenic.
To be Thumbelina is one of my dreams,
Even if somewhat impossible it seems.
