I always wonder
How hard it would for gnomes
To reach apples from the trees,
Until one day I become
One of them -just for testing!

I find out what a
Beautiful world
Underneath our feet.
-And no-
They don't have trouble with getting apples.

The beautiful apples
Become even more pretty
As I lean upon the wall of their bodies.
-And I never have to worry having too little!

The sun is blazing;
The trees are sweating,
But I-
I'm under the umberalla of flowers.

Never did I
Thought of sitting
Under the shades
Of such scented little trees.

And all along I thought
The gnomes are too slow-
Just wait
And try to catch the bee!

And when I see a mouse of my size-
I'm in great fear.
I try to race with her,
But is like a car that passes me by.
Oops, I think I'm in trouble.

When we sit down
For tea and cheese,
I find out how smart gnomes are.
If the mouse can't find cheese
In an area,
She would start and explore
Until she find some.

I think back,
People often hold on to their past
In holding hopes
Some times things would be like old times.
But as people shrink,
They aren't bound to win or loss.
The gnomes do their best work,
Then enjoy an evening within their small abode-
What a life of living!

So when the next morning
As I wake up
I pour a cup of coco into a small cup
And put it in front of the wall cracks...

This is so sweet.  There is so much love in you that it spilled over for the gnomes and other small creatures.  Loved it.  Joyce
