Little Things

Little drops of water,

Little grains of sand,

Make the mighty ocean

And the pleasant land.


So the little moments,

Humble though they be,

Make the mighty ages

Of Eternity.


So the little errors

Lead the soul away

From the paths of virtue

Far in sin to stray.


Little deeds of kindness,

Little words of love,

Make this earth an Eden,

Like the Heaven above.
