LITTLE THINGS 
  Little drops of water     Little grains of sand,   Make the mighty ocean,     And the pleasant land.
  Thus the little moments,     Humble though they be,   Make the mighty ages     Of eternity.
  Thus our little errors     Lead the soul away   From the path of virtue,     Off in sin to stray.
  Little deeds of kindness,     Little words of love,   Make our earth an Eden,     Like the heaven above.
