"Hello my friends, I'm here to say,
I hope you're well and have a good day.
A giraffe I am and my name is Tot-ally Tall,
you can call me friend and we'll have a ball.
I thank God for trees.
Some say I have a face only a mother could love,
I get a close look at the stars above.
Oh, how brightly they shine,
guiding me into the night.
Can you taste, touch, hear or smell them?
Are they anywhere in sight?
Climb aboard and look around,
things are not as they appear.
The world isn't as big,
looking down from up here.
Tomorrow is on the horizon,
what you do today matters.
Choose your words well,
when speaking your chatters.
I love little children, surprisingly, I'm one myself,
even if I can reach a book on the top shelf.
Upon a time, once, I had a questioning thought.
If I had need of money what would I have bought?"
My parents, they always tell me,
"worry not about where you live,
it's all about what you give."
"So, climb on and we'll have a ball,
remember my name is Tot-ally Tall."

I like this, it's playful yet full of wisdom. The flow could be evened out with a little edit, a syllable count per line would also do the same job yet more effectively. Thanks for entering and good luck! La x
