Great things are always recognized They are given awards and prizes History records the great things; spurts of revolutionary thought creating, civilization course changing These be the elements of great things But, what of the small things, the little things that often go unnoticed and unseen Not appreciated much are the small things Like a kind word of encouragement, given to a weary soul in need of a wee bit of comforting Such a small act of love sprinkled on fallow ground, sprouts a great soul revival which in turn makes more love abound Mustard seed things make mountains move around Small things be the catalyst for great spiritual transforming I will sing praises of all the small things given to me in my lifetime To awake each day, and feel the love of another morning sunrise To go to sleep peacefully at night, and dream of loving things that will flow to me in rainbow rivers of light So beautiful are the small things, things I will always speak of; simple little things ... like seeing a blooming flower send forth a sweet fragrance of love
