Of Small Things


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
