Small

I've always been very small for my age, its not a thing I particularly like
It makes it difficult you see, when I run, reeeeeach or try to ride my bike

"The best things come in small packages!" Is what mum always says to me
But I don't believe her, just look around... a giraffe, a skyscrapper, a tree

I try to grow, really I do!  At night I stretch and strain
But when I wake, I'm just as small, but tonight I'll try again

"When you are older, you will be tall." My dad says to reassure
But I cant wait that long for  tallness, so shortness I guess, I must endure 

Being small is not all bad, it can be rather fun
I'm brilliant at hide and seek! Im hiding now.....shhhh I've almost won!
