Little Things By Harriet V. Turner When God created our world, He knew the whims of mortal man. So he gave us all the little things, To gladden each moment in our life's span. The patter of little baby feet, Rapture of the first sweet smile. A knock on our door, when we need a friend, Each makes our day more worth while. Blue of the sky, ever-greening lawn, Blooming roses where the robins call. Red in the east at break of dawn, Riots of many colors in the fall. Trees so shapely for artists to see, As only God can make a tree. Nature has painted a picture grand, Made by the “MASTER^’1 artistic hand. Out there in the cool woodland glade, Our loved ones gather with us there. We spread our picnic lunch in the shade, And breath the pungent tangy air. Landscapes resplendent in color and hue, Makes life^ little things, pass in review. There^ ants in the butter, bugs in our kool-aid, Our music is free------- the frogs serenade. Close by in the meadow, Young lambs frolic and play. From a carpet of emerald. A mare and foal, gallop away. We listen to the constant honking, Of the wild geese in their flight. As in a perfect V formation, They fly onward day and night. Out in the dessert rocky and bare, We wonder why flowers are blooming there. Unseen, they flaunt their colors high, A vision of beauty, to the chance passer by. Heaven seems a little closer, In the sunset’s brilliant glow. Fleecy clouds form into patterns, Like winteA mantel of ice and snow. Words tumble in a maze of confusion, As we attempt in rhyme to tell, Some of life’s beautiful little things, We enjoy and know so well. Each day is a new challenge, Every moment a precious pearl. Often lost in the Tumult, Of our day’s unending whirl. If we were given one single wish, We might use each passing day. We would bow our heads in humbleness, And earnestly we would pray. As we pass along our earthly life, Lord open our eyes to enjoy and see, All of the beautiful little things, Created in love -— for you and me.
