A Little Thing

I am smaller than a dinosaur,
and smaller than a house,
smaller than a lithoweer,
and smaller than a mouse.

Ants you see are big to me,
and blades of grass are trees.
A tear it is a flood to me,
and puddles are the seas.

If you can guess as to what I am,
you too are small and free.
