Julia A Fletcher Carney / Little Things


Little drops of water,
 Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the beauteous land

And the little moments,
Humble though they may be, 
make the mighty ages
 Of eternity.

Little deeds of kindness,
 little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden,
like the heaven above.

So our little errors
Lead the soul away,
 From the paths of virtue
 Into sin to stray.

 Little seeds of mercy
 Sown by youthful hands,
Grow to bless the nations
Far in heathen lands.
