The Giant in Us All
Written by Angela Lloyd, March 2001

There is giant in each of us
Living at the top what we
Can grow to be.

Mother, I am a bean!
Water me!
Watch me grow
I’ll be taller than you dreamed
Overnight!

Mama!
Watch me climb!
Arm over arm,
Leg over leg,
Over all that is difficult.

Living:
Means every morning
There is something new growing- a story.
That was not there
The day before!
Living means
Listening to the story.

Mama watch me go!
I’ll come back with treasure!
The treasure of the story.
Treasure belonging to our history!
The treasure belonging to us all!
Hear it Ring? Mama! Hear it Ring?
