My Tiny Precious Land

I was born in a tiny distant land

where people believe themselves blessed.

So I became a tiny blessed person.

I traveled the world and its expanse, discovering new lands.

Hefty and famous, remote and unknown;

countries infinite and narrow; rich and poor.

But whatever I’d end,

If I took time to be and stay, I found everyone the very same

God little blessed people.

And so, now, my tiny precious land; it’s all around me

Wherever I am.
