The Best Poem Of Julia Abigail Fletcher Carney
Little Things
Little drops of water,
Little grains of sand,
Make the mighty ocean
And the pleasant land.
So the little moments,
Humble thought they be,
Make the mighty ages
Of Eternity.
So the little errors
Lead the sould away
From the paths of virtue
Far in sin to stray.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Help to make earth happy
Like the Heaven above.
