  3. This is just great. The picture speaks your haiku. I can just hear him say it too, he is just such lovey and gentle ordinary person. Small of stature but big of heart.

  12. I love it! - truly a gift to be content with who one is (especially with regard to things we can't change, like physical height, colour of our skin, etc)
