the poem is so great!, it creates alot of sense and meaning and everything
that is said inthe poem is so true. We must live everyday like its a
surprise and always learn to appreciate evry little thing that surrounds
us.

I believe That When She Refers To The "Tiny Human Midget," Part Walker Is
Pointing Out The Imperfections In The World...Discover Why We Have These
Imperfections And You'll See Why We Must "Expect Nothing," Because They
Come Hand In Hand With Disappointment....
