Little acts of kindness
Hidden from their eyes
Warms a soul to thank
An angel in disguise
Little prayers of heart
In humility
Perhaps will change the world
In ways we’ll never see
Little words of grace
Through a compliment
Perhaps, we’ll never know
To what that soul it meant
For little drops of love
Never go away
For they light the path
Of the eternal way
Throughout my Mothers’ life
A need with me she’d share
My child, would you?
Say a little prayer
For a friend suffering
Or her need, unknown
For the world’s troubles
An act of faith, shown
And through her asking
Taught humility
The one who I needed
Here needed me
As a small child
Showed what I could do
That even one little
Has such great value
Blessed this lesson
That touched my heart
Bound in Christs’ body
To play a part
And so here my friend
I’ll practice this too
Would say one for me?
And I’ll say one for you
Just a little flower
Arises from the earth
A gifting of new life
Of this seasons’ birth
Just a little color
Of simple, humble grace
Not to change the world
But just within this space
Just a little beauty
Of offer here this day
To brighten up this world
Who pause within the way
Just a little whisper
For us all to see
That all God asks of us
Is what we’re called to be
Just a little message
To shine our colors bright
With simple acts of love
The beauty of His light
In the midst of life
An offer here for free
To take a little moment
To be still and be
A moment to ponder
A change of attitude
Practicing of wonder
To foster gratitude
A moment of dwelling
With our being whole
To open to Spirit
And center the soul
A moment of vision
Perspective to see
Of the infinite ways
That Gods’ blessing me
Little quiet moments
An insight of gleaning
That seem to give the rest
Extra special meaning
How many times have you noticed that it’s the little quiet moments in the midst of life that seem to give the rest extra-special meaning?
FRED ROGERS
Little gifts of kindness
Of generosity
Bring light to this world
Through humility
Little acts of love
Through the trinity
Draw the world as One
Bound Spiritually
Little prayers of faith
Through divinity
Turns the worlds direction
Oh, so gradually
All these little moments
One day we will see
In another world
Flow to eternity
The little things in life
The world sees as small
Turns out in the end
Are the greatest, of all
A gift in this morning
Of a blessing here
Ascending into
A cloud of prayer
Truth now before us
How little we see
So much of our life
Is a mystery
An offer so great
Assistance God sends
Of the Holy spirit
As our guiding friend
So, open our view
Of vision so great
Through eyes of the soul
To contemplate
All the little houses
In their yard be
Their walls containing
A family
Each with their fears
And struggles too
Sharing of love
And dreams they pursue
Souls doing chores
Or watching TV
Some feeling happy
Others lonely
As I drive by
An offer of prayer
May God’s peace and love
Dwell with them there
With each sunrise
Outpouring of light
Each day becomes
Just a little more bright
A gaze in the field
Slight change in the scene
The pasture becomes
Just a little more green
With each passing year
Let the Spirit advise
Then we’ll become
Just a little more wise
Through our daily prayer
In the soul is shown
That Your love becomes
Just a little more known
Just a little silence
Can go a long, long way
Words of wordless wonder
Of being, let us pray
Just a little Spirit
A seed to inspire
Sending waves of joy
Can set the soul on fire
Just a little Jesus
Here can rescue me
Path of His way chosen
Leads to eternity
Just a little, all we need
This day to endure
Our gracious God, awaits
So, let’s all ask for more!
I have come to learn
The older that I grow
The wiser I become
How little that I know
I think I know someone
Got them figured out
A new dimension viewed
Assumptions turn about
When I can predict
Just how things will be
The opposite comes true
And God surprises me
For I just know one thing
That God is in control
Help me to live that fact
Believe it in my soul
